The answer is different for different places. In Portland, Oregon, there is an 'independent police review' committee in addition to the standard internal affairs department.

More generally, serious investigations in to the conduct of a police officer(s) are usually handled by an entirely separate police agency. This means that a city or county police department may be investigated by the state police, or that any department may be investigated by the F.B.I.

The FBI would also normally investigate federal civil rights cases.
