CPS Area Inspections
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) is divided into 13 geographical Areas across England and Wales. Charging advice is provided to the police by a country-wide service.
The CPS also has four casework divisions, each with its own specialism:
- Central Fraud Division;
- Organised Crime Division;
- Special Crime and Counter Terrorism Division; and
- Welfare, Rural and Health Division.
HMCPSI inspects individual CPS Areas and divisions and provides assurance to the Attorney General on the performance of the CPS as a whole.
