A man has died in a police shooting during an operation near the M62.

The incident has been referred to the IPCC - but who are they and what do they do?

The Independent Police Complaints Commission, external (IPCC) oversees the police complaints system in England and Wales. 

It is not part of the police and makes its decisions entirely independently of government.

Police forces are obliged to refer their most serious cases to the IPCC regardless of whether a complaint has been made. 

It may then investigate on its own or oversee the police force's own investigation.
