The Ontario Civilian Police Commission (OCPC; French: Commission civile de l’Ontario sur la police), previously known as the Ontario Police Commission and the Ontario Civilian Commission on Police Services, is an independent quasi-judicial agency. It is one of the 13 adjudicative tribunals overseen by the Ministry of the Attorney General that make up Tribunals Ontario. The OCPC hears appeals, adjudicates applications, conducts investigations and resolves disputes regarding the oversight and provision of policing services in Ontario. [1]

The role and authority of OCPC was mandated under the Ontario Police Services Act.[2]

On April 1, 2024, the Community Safety and Policing Act, 2019 (CSPA) came into force and the Police Services Act was repealed.[3]
