Equal Opportunities at the CPS In line with the CPS Equal Opportunities Policy Statement we select the best people for the job regardless of sex, colour, race, religion, ethnic or national origin, disability, age, marital status, working pattern, sexual orientation, and gender. We operate a complaints procedure for those who feel they have been unfairly treated as a result of discrimination, harassment, intimidation or bullying. 4 Background In 1981, the report of the Royal Commission on Criminal Procedure made a number of recommendations which led in 1986 to the creation of a new national Government department, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS). Principal objectives in the creation of this service were to separate the investigation and the prosecution process and to provide a greater degree of consistency in prosecution practice throughout England and Wales. The CPS is headed by the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) who is under the superintendence of the Attorney General. Our role is to take forward the prosecution of all cases commenced by the police (except for minor specified offences) both in the magistrates courts and the Crown Court ranging from driving without due care and attention to murder. Overall, cases involving some 1.4 million defendants are handled by us each year. About 100,000 of these cases are heard in the Crown Court. We also deal with appeals arising from these cases in the Divisional Court, the Court of Appeal and the House of Lords. There are now over 7,100 total staff in the Service, including some 2,365 lawyers and 4,779 caseworkers and administration staff. Our role Our main role is the prosecution of alleged criminal offenders in England and Wales. This role includes four main functions: Advising the police on cases for possible prosecution and the appropriate charge Reviewing cases submitted by the police Preparing cases for the magistrates court and the Crown Court Advocacy at court and where appropriate, the instruction of counsel in the Crown Court and higher courts. A fifth vital function is working effectively with others to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the criminal justice system overall. 1
5 Lft2002 updated 7/2/03 9:56 am Page 8 Our structure There are currently 42 CPS Areas, each one corresponding with a Police Force (CPS London covers the whole of London). Each Area is headed by a Chief Crown Prosecutor (CCP). 1 Avon & Somerset 2 Bedfordshire 3 Cambridgeshire 4 Cheshire 5 London (City) 6 Cleveland 7 Cumbria 8 Derbyshire 9 Devon & Cornwall 10 Dorset 11 Durham 12 Dyfed-Powys 13 Essex 14 Gloucestershire 15 Greater Manchester 16 Gwent 17 Hampshire 18 Hertfordshire 19 Humberside 20 Kent 21 Lancashire 22 Leicestershire 23 Lincolnshire 24 Merseyside 25 London (Met.) 26 Norfolk 27 Northamptonshire 28 Northumbria 29 North Wales 30 North Yorkshire 31 Nottinghamshire 32 South Wales 33 South Yorkshire 34 Staffordshire 35 Suffolk 36 Surrey 37 Sussex 38 Thames Valley 39 Warwickshire 40 West Mercia 41 West Midlands 42 West Yorkshire 43 Wiltshire The CCPs work closely with their Area Business Managers (ABM) like Alex, below who are responsible for the administrative and management services within the Area. Each Area oversees a network of local CPS offices which are staffed by lawyers, caseworkers and administrative personnel. 6 Higher Court Advocate. Prosecutor Posts Prosecutors are responsible for reviewing and, where appropriate, prosecuting criminal cases following investigation by the police. They also advise the police on matters relating to criminal cases. In each case reviewed the prosecutor will consider whether there is sufficient evidence and, if so, whether the public interest requires a prosecution. A Higher Court Advocate (HCA) is a CPS lawyer with Higher Rights qualifications able to prosecute at Crown Court. Qualifications To apply for a post as a lawyer you must be a solicitor admitted in England and Wales with a full current practising certificate, or a barrister called to the English Bar who has completed pupillage. Excellent skills in advocacy and personal organisation, together with the ability to work effectively within a team. Sound judgement and the capacity to work accurately under pressure are essential. 2 3
