Draft:Enforcement Agency Integrity Commission (EAIC)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Enforcement Agency Integrity Commission (Malay: Suruhanjaya Integriti Agensi Penguatkuasaan), abbreviated as EAIC or SIAP, is a Federal Statutory Body established through the Act of Parliament under section 3 of the Enforcement Agency Integrity Commission Act 2009 [Act 700], which was gazetted on 3 September 2009 and became effective on 1 April 2011.

Act 700 replaces the Independent Police Complaints and Misconduct Commission Bill 2005. The establishment of EAIC is in line with the Government's target to instill and improve integrity among law enforcement officers and enforcement agencies in order to strengthen the public's confidence in them.[1] EAIC carries out its functions as follows:

  • to receive complaints of misconduct from the public against an enforcement officer or against an enforcement agency in general and to investigate into and conduct hearings on such complaints;
  • to formulate and put in place mechanisms for the detection, investigation and prevention of misconduct by an enforcement officer;
  • to protect the interests of the public by preventing and dealing with misconduct of an enforcement officer;
  • to provide for the auditing and monitoring of particular aspects of the operation and procedures of an enforcement agency;
  • to promote awareness of, enhancement of, and education in relation to, integrity within an enforcement agency and to reduce misconduct amongst enforcement officers;
  • to assist the Government in formulating legislation, or to recommend administrative measures to the Government or an enforcement agency, in the promotion of integrity and the abolishment of misconduct amongst enforcement officers;
  • to study and verify any infringements of enforcement procedures and to make any necessary recommendations relating thereto; and
  • to make site visits to the premises of an enforcement agency, including visiting police stations and lock-ups in accordance with the procedures under any written law, and make any necessary recommendations relating thereto.
