The Independent Policing Oversight Authority was established through an Act of Parliament published in November 2011 to provide for civilian oversight over the work of the police in Kenya.
Article 244 of the constitution requires the police to strive for the highest levels of discipline and professionalism, promote and practice, transparency and accountability in execution of their duties.
IPOA holds them accountable to this standard. The inaugural Board was sworn into office in June 2012.
