Basically the IOPC were involved as Johnson at the time of the alleged conduct, he was Mayor of London and part of that role is overseeing the Met Police which brings his conduct into their arena. As per below quote:

"This matter was referred to the IOPC by the GLA because, as the Mayor of London, Mr Johnson was also the head of the Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime, which is a position equivalent to that of a Police and Crime Commissioner. Any indication a criminal offence may have been committed by the office holder, whether or not they still hold that position, must be referred to the IOPC to decide whether the matter should be criminally investigated."

The investigation was concluded and found no criminal wrongdoing as per https://www.policeconduct.gov.uk/news/no-criminal-investigation-boris-johnson-misconduct-public-office-while-mayor-london Bowchaser (talk) 14:14, 7 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
