Welcome to CPS Cymru/Wales

The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) is responsible for prosecuting criminal cases investigated by the police throughout England and Wales.

In order to do this effectively we work closely with the Police, the Courts, the Probation Service, Prisons and Youth Offending Teams. We also work alongside Victim Support to ensure victims receive the support they need.

The CPS in Wales serves a population of over three million people and our local teams work alongside partner organisations in the four police force areas in Wales: Dyfed Powys, Gwent, North Wales and South Wales. In addition, our complex case unit (CCU) works across Wales to prosecute a range of more serious, organised and cross-border crimes.
