The National Integrity Commission was established in 2015 and replaced oversight bodies for the Maldives Police Service, Maldives Customs Service, the Maldives Correctional Service, and the Maldives Immigration.

The commission is comprised of five members, who can over see cases of: an unlawful act by an employee of a law enforcement agency, unjust or indiscriminatory acts by law enforcement, and potentially criminal conduct of law enforcement agencies.

The commission can advise law enforcement agencies and forward matters to the Prosecutor General’s Office.
