In [[England and Wales]], an independent organization known as the [[Independent Police Complaints Commission]] (IPCC) investigates reports of police misconduct. They automatically investigate any deaths caused by or thought to be caused by, police action.

A similar body known as the [[Police Investigations and Review Commissioner]] (PIRC) operates in Scotland. In Northern Ireland, the [[Police Ombudsman for Northern Ireland]] has a similar role to that of the IPCC and PIRC.

In Africa, there exist two such bodies: one in South Africa and another one in Kenya known as the Independent Policing Oversight Authority.

In the United States, more police are wearing body cameras after the [[shooting of Michael Brown]]. The [[United States Department of Justice|US Department of Justice]] has made a call to action for police departments across the nation to implement body cameras in their departments so that further investigation will be possible.<ref>{{Cite news |title=Investigation of the Ferguson Police Department |year=2015}}</ref>
