- Army Prosecuting Authority
The Army Prosecuting Authority (APA) is an agency of the British Ministry of Defence. It was created as an independent body by the Armed Forces Act 1996 on 1 April 1997 and has branches in the United Kingdom and in British Forces Germany (BFG).
The current Prosecuting Authority is Major-General D. M. Howell, who is also the Director of Army Legal Services.
The APA liaises with the Military Court Service, the office of the Judge Advocate General, the Attorney-General, other prosecuting authorities (including the Crown Prosecution Service), civilian solicitors, and the military and civilian police.
Due to provisions in the Armed Forces Act 2006, the APA is due to cease as an Organisation on the 1st January 2009 when it merges with the Royal Air Force Prosecution Authority and the Naval Prosecution Authority to form a Tri-Service Service Prosecuting Authority, which will be under the control of a Senior Civil Servant who is also a QC
