Prosecutor

Stand at the stern of the canoe and feel the spray of the future biting at your face Mo te tunga | About the role NZ Police are offering an exciting opportunity to join the Police Prosecution Service (PPS) as a Prosecutor in Hamilton, within their Waikato PPS team.
With PPS you will gain a sound knowledge of prosecution processes including advocacy, knowledge of the Law and court practices. You will move into an area of fast paced and interesting criminal courtroom advocacy where you will grow and gain a large amount of experience in a short period of time. You will have the opportunity and autonomy to make decisions in the knowledge that you are making a difference in the community in which you live.
You will be part of a diverse group of Constabulary prosecutors, Police Employee lawyers, support, and managerial staff. Here you will find that camaraderie and peer support are second to none and the feeling of belonging to a close-knit team is a real and tangible experience.
You will experience "on your feet" prosecuting in courts ranging from first appearance through to Judge alone trials and sentencings hearings. In addition, you will be involved in various out-of-court case management processes, such as file analysis, writing submissions, and liaising with police investigators and defence counsel.
Your knowledge and understanding of key New Zealand statutes and legislation, combined with your desire and motivation to present well-constructed and compelling prosecution cases, will enable you to undertake a vital role in the Criminal Justice Sector and in the operationalisation of New Zealand Police's strategy.
