The legislation implemented a three-pronged oversight system comprised of the existing OPA, a new Office of Inspector General for Public Safety (OIG), and a now-permanent Community Police Commission (CPC). Together, all three entities work to generate public trust in SPD by upholding a culture of accountability and adherence to policy and constitutional law." -- from website, 2021.03.11
