BackgroundBack

In 2013, Independent Police Complaints Council (IPCC) commissioned POP to conduct a public opinion poll entitled “Independent Police Complaints Council Public Opinion Survey”. This year, IPCC commissioned POP again to conduct this “Independent Police Complaints Council Public Opinion Survey 2014”. The objectives of the survey were to investigate the public knowledge and perception of IPCC after the incorporation, to understand the expectation of the public towards IPCC so as to shape a better IPCC, as well as to identify the direction of IPCC’s publicity initiatives in future.

The research instrument used in this study was designed entirely by the POP Team after consulting IPCC. Fieldwork operations and data analysis were also conducted independently by the POP Team, without interference from any outside party. In other words, POP was given full autonomy to design and conduct the survey, and POP would take full responsibility for all the findings reported herewith.
