The OPP confiscates criminal assets, assists victims and witnesses, and contributes expertise to legislative changes to criminal law.
The Office of Public Prosecutions (OPP) prosecutes serious crime on behalf of the people of Victoria. We assess the adequacy of briefs of evidence, consider the legal issues, instruct and appear in court. As part of this process we liaise with police, victims and witnesses, and the courts to ensure witnesses and evidence are ready and available when needed.
