Crown Prosecution Service (CPS)

The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) is the government organization in England and Wales responsible for deciding whether to prosecute criminal cases brought to court. It reviews evidence gathered by police, determines if there is enough proof for a conviction, and then proceeds with bringing the case to court on behalf of the public. The CPS ensures that cases are handled fairly and according to the law, aiming to deliver justice efficiently. It works closely with police, victims, and witnesses to ensure proper legal processes are followed and that justice is served.
