The Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP)

The Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) is a crucial government agency responsible for prosecuting criminal cases on behalf of the state. It ensures that justice is served by deciding when to bring charges against individuals accused of crimes, presenting cases in court, and upholding the rule of law. The ODPP operates independently from the police and government, focusing solely on pursuing fair and effective legal outcomes. Its goal is to protect the public and maintain confidence in the criminal justice system while ensuring that the rights of the accused are also respected.
