Our missions |
The Committee P acts independently and neutrally at the service of the legislative power to assist it in its oversight of the executive power.
listening to citizens, Parliament, authorities and police officials, ... |
The Committee P is the external body that acts totally external and independent with regard to the executive power (minister, mayor, police college, ...) and the police forces (local police, federal police, inspection services, ...). Under the supervision of the Federal Parliament it oversees both the general operation of the police, inspection or monitoring services and the policing practices of all officials with policing powers.
This specificity makes the Committee P the sole body of external and global supervision of the functioning of the police services and the special inspection services.
The Committee acts completely autonomous and independent, but this does not alter the fact that the Committee P is accountable to the parliament. A special committee responsible for the parliamentary supervision was established within the Chamber of Representatives to monitor its activities. Accountability is given by sending reports on its investigations and, annually, a general activity report with general conclusions and recommendations to this special committee of the Chamber of Representatives
In particular, Committee P monitors the way in which efficiency, effectiveness and coordination are achieved and how fundamental rights and freedoms are respected and actively promoted.
