CPOC is uniquely envisioned to be a hybrid of these three models of oversight, with expansive authority and a broad mission. The authorizing legislation for CPOC comprehensively lists the oversight functions that CPOC is meant to fulfill. The legislation notes that CPOC may conduct investigations, data analysis, and audits related to any pattern, policy, or practice of the police department.
