Prosecutor is a key role within Security tasked with prosecuting criminals, and keeping security in line with the law. Because of this, keen knowledge of Standard Operating Procedure and Space Law is required. A good prosecutor can uplift security, but a bad one can cripple it.
The Prosecutor answers to the Chief Justice, but it is good to work with the Head of Security when it does not conflict with the law. You walk a thin line between assisting security and keeping them in check, but the law is your guide above all else.
Day-to-day Responsibilities
You'll usually begin your shift in your office. The first thing you want to do is introduce yourself to the department to make your presence known. It's essential you make it clear to Security what cases you want them to inform you of, and lay down some ground rules on law.
Next, you'll usually make your way to brig or security where you will spend most of your time. Whenever detainees come in, you will be cooperating with security regarding their sentencing and treatment to make sure it is reasonable and fair. This does not require you to agree with security in all circumstances. Whatever sentence is given to detainees by you or security, it is your responsibility to defend it in court. If that means you must lower the sentence, then it is in your best interest to do so.
Sitting in brig can be boring if the station is particularly well-behaved. Feel free to roam around with security and observe their adherence to procedure. It's not too uncommon for sec to trespass or make a fool of themselves, and while you shouldn't intervene with law enforcement or arrests, the officers will appreciate some company from time to time.
Court of Law
When you've finally convicted someone of a capital crime, it is your utmost priority to process them as soon as possible. This means you must compile evidence, decide on a charge, and get a judge to your case. To avoid being overwhelmed, it's good to focus on these steps:
- Speak with the arresting officer about what happened and decide on a charge
- Organize any evidence in a locker or bag
- Make a list of witnesses if any
- Ask the Chief Justice or Clerk to judge the hearing. If neither are present, speak with command so they can decide on a judge
- Show up to court and present your charges
Make sure you study up on Hearing Procedure so you can present your arguments as efficiently as possible. Time is of the essence, and you could have more criminals coming in before you know it. Avoid long documents and over-preparing that could add more time to the poor soul waiting for trial.
