The significance of the prosecution's (usually the District Attorney) and the police is that they must work together in order to achieve the same goal. The police do all the investigating, and they want the criminals to receive punishment. The prosecution wants crime to cease to a managable statistic, and they run the trial in court in the name of the state.


example:

Riverside vs. Latour <----- wrong, prosecution trials are different. This only works in the civil trial.

Pennsylvania vs. Latour <------ correct.

PLAINTIFF vs. DEFENDANT

Despite much misunderstandings to the contrary - the Prosecutor's Office is NOT a part of the Judicial Branch of government. Both law enforcement and the prosecutor's office are members of the Executive Branch of Government. As such both they and law enforcement usually have a good working relationship with one another and work in cooperation with one another in investigating and prosecuting criminals
