The Corruption and Crime Commission is Western Australia's leading anti-corruption body. It works to improve the integrity of the Western Australian public sector and helps public sector agencies to minimise and manage serious misconduct, and assists WA Police to reduce the incidence of organised crime.
The Corruption and Crime Commissioner is responsible to Parliament for the performance of the functions of the Commission, in respect of which he is not subject to political interference.
For the WA Police Force, all types of misconduct described in section 4 of the Corruption, Crime and Misconduct Act 2003, and conduct described as 'reviewable police action', are called 'police misconduct'.
