The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) is to be re-organised into 42 areas, each with its own Crown Prosecutor, to correspond with existing police force areas. The changes are designed to "create a locally-based service, structured to co-operate with the police in ensuring an effective prosecution system." The Director of Public Prosecutions will name the Crown Prosecutors in June and they will assume management responsibilities in April 1998. During 1995 the CPS had its 31 regional areas reduced to thirteen.

Police Review 30.5.97.
