Decentralization

The Directorate has been on a fast paced process to reorganize its functions. Parallel to that, it has embarked upon a decentralization exercise which will see it extending its physical presence to all areas where there are Magistrate courts. As a result, the Directorate has embarked upon a massive recruitment exercise of prosecutors to increase its prosecution capacity. The DPP Headquaters is in Gaborone with regional offices in Francistown, Maun, Palapye, Lobatse and Selibe Phikwe. The ultimate aim is for the DPP to take over all prosecutions from the Botswana Police Service.
