PUTRAJAYA: Starting tomorrow, the Enforcement Agency Integrity Commission (EAIC) will no longer accept any complaints made against the police or its officers.
This is because the police are no longer listed under the schedule of the Enforcement Agency Integrity Commission Act 2009 (Act 700) as one of the enforcement agencies under its purview, the EAIC said in a statement today.
The EAIC said this was in line with the Independent Police Conduct Commission Act 2022 (IPCC) which will also come into force from July 1.
“The EAIC, however, will resolve all complaints and investigations received before July 1, 2023, within a period of one year until July 1, 2024.
