Commentary on provisions of Act Section 11: Service police: complaints, misconduct etc
This section amends the AFA 2006 to create a new regime for complaints against the service police, including the new tri-service serious crime unit, and related matters. It does so by establishing the Service Police Complaints Commissioner ("the SPCC") and enables the creation of a regime for complaints, conduct matters and death or serious injury matters which is modelled on the regime for the civilian police in England and Wales. The civilian regime is overseen by the Director General of the Independent Office for Police Conduct ("DG IOPC"). This issue was considered in the Service Justice System Review (recommendation 44 of Part 2).
	Subsection (2) inserts a new section 365BA and 365BB in Part 18 of the AFA 2006.
