Chief Public Prosecutor (BES Islands)

The Ministry of Justice and Security of the Netherlands oversees the heads the Public Prosecution Service. The Public Prosecutor typically leads the investigation in a criminal matter, and the Public Prosecution Service ensures that the sentence given by the judges are properly executed. In addition. the service monitors any fines and penalties, the imprisonment process, and any required community service.

In turn, the Public Prosecution Service BES is responsible for the criminal enforcement of the legal order on Bonaire, Saba, and Sint Eustatius. Each island has an independent Public Prosecution's Office that contains a Public Prosecutor—all of whom are under the leadership of a Chief Prosecutor.

The Public Prosecution Service overall works in tandem with a joint Attorney General and Advocate General.[1]

gollark: The UK doesn't seem to be doing hugely well with this whole thing to be honest.
