Independent Custody Visitors

Independent custody visitors (ICVs) are members of the local community who volunteer to visit police stations unannounced to check on the treatment and welfare of people held in police custody.

MOPAC is responsible for recruiting, selecting and appointing all custody visitors and aims to do this from as many different backgrounds and communities as possible to ensure the scheme reflects London’s diversity.

To find out more, including how to apply, please visit our Independent Custody Visitation (ICV) page.
