Aotearoa has a police prosecution service. Police are directly responsible for prosecuting the bulk of crimes (lower level offending). Those prosecutors may not be legally trained but are police officers. The crown law office handles indictable offences but outsources the work to private firms.

Responsibility for prosecutions rests with the Attorney General ultimately and the solicitor general heads up the crown law office. At an indictable level the prosecutors aren’t “cops” in the colloquial way a lot of DAs are. But also, Australia is not Aotearoa.
