Composed of Saint Paul residents, the Police Civilian Internal Affairs Review Commission (PCIARC or Commission) is the City’s civilian oversight group that reviews investigations into complaints from community members about misconduct by licensed officers of the Saint Paul Police Department (SPPD). The PCIARC recommends disciplinary actions and policy updates to the Saint Paul Chief of Police based on its review of complaints filed by community members. The PCIARC does not replace civil or criminal court, rather it makes recommendations to the Chief of Police regarding the conduct of police officers as employees, subject to the Minnesota Peace Officer Discipline Procedures Act (PODPA) and related labor laws. The Chief of Police has the authority over any discipline assigned to a police officer.
