The Service Prosecuting Authority (SPA) was formed on 1 January 2009 and provides for the independent, efficient and consistent consideration of criminal cases and offences contrary to military discipline. The SPA was formed with the incorporation of the Navy Prosecution Authority, Army Prosecuting Authority and Royal Air Force Prosecuting Authority. The role of the SPA is to review cases referred to it by the Service Police or Chain of Command and prosecute that case at Court Martial or Service Civilian Court where appropriate. The head of the authority is the post of Director Service Prosecutions (DSP). The DSP and the SPA act under the general superintendence of the Attorney General and remain fully independent of the Military Chain of Command.
