Hybrid Civilian Oversight
These include hybrid agencies and hybrid systems. In the first
case, an agency may primarily focus on one oversight function
while also performing other functions (such as reviewing internal
investigations and auditing policy compliance) .
Individual agencies assuming hybrid forms are increasingly
common.

Auditor/Monitor- Focused
These models take a variety of organizational forms, yet are all
focused on large-scale, systemic law enforcement reform .
Auditor/monitor agencies may review internal complaint
investigation processes, evaluate police policies, practices, and
training, actively participate in open investigations, and conduct
wide-scale analyses of patterns in complaints and communicate
their findings to the public.

Investigation - Focused Models
They employ professionally trained staff to investigate complaints
of alleged misconduct independently and separately from the
police or sheriff's department they are responsible for overseeing.
Investigation-focused agencies are typically authorized to receive
complaints. These agencies are increasingly being endowed with
the authority to mediate complaints, analyze department policies
and procedures, and issue recommendations to the overseen
department.

Review- Focused Models
They typically assess the quality of finalized complaint
investigations undertaken by the police or sheriff department's
internal affairs unit or conduct reviews of the overseen law
enforcement agency's policies, procedures, and disciplinary
activities. Review-focused models typically consist of volunteer
boards and commissions and may be involved in hearing appeals,
holding public forums, and making recommendations for further
investigation of complaints.
