Legal Administration

The Regina Public Prosecutions office, located on Smith Street, is responsible for the administration of criminal justice within the Regina region. Crown Prosecutors at this location represent the Crown (the community) in criminal proceedings, ensuring that charges are proven beyond a reasonable doubt in a fair and ethical manner. This office works independently of the police and the courts to assess whether prosecutions are in the public interest and whether there is a reasonable likelihood of conviction. They handle a wide range of cases, from summary offences to serious indictable crimes. ⚖️👮‍♂️📂
