About the police district

The Prosecution Authority at the South Zealand and Lolland-Falster Police consists of about 75 staff, including about 50 lawyers distributed across three offices: The Office of the Prosecution for Special Cases (SP), The Office of the Prosecution for General Cases (AS) and The Office of Quality, Development and General Cases (KUA).
