The Bureau is a multi-faceted, comprehensive approach to ensuring Ontario's prosecution service is equipped to prosecute increasing volumes of serious and violent crime effectively and efficiently, and to ensure continued prosecutorial capacity in local Crown Attorney offices.

What is the Cybercrime Team?

The Cybercrime Team is a specialized unit of dedicated Crown prosecutors who are specifically trained in the unique factual, technical, and legal issues inherent in technology-based crimes. These Crowns provide pre-charge advice to the various police cybercrime units, assist in asset recovery, and prosecute complex and novel cybercrime cases, working with the police from the early stages of an investigation to trial. The team receives cases directly from police services across the province. The team is also available to provide ongoing training and advice to Crowns, so we can build greater capacity to deal with cybercrime and cryptocurrency-related prosecutions throughout the Criminal Law Division.

The Criminal Law Division provides legal representation for the Crown in right of Ontario in all criminal matters. It is responsible for the prosecution of criminal cases before all courts in the province and for the carriage of criminal appeals in the Ontario Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court of Canada. With over 1900 staff, Ontario's prosecution service is the largest in the country and is recognized as an innovative leader.

Our Values: Integrity, Judgment, Commitment, Justice, Accountability, Courage, Collaboration.

We invite all interested individuals to apply and encourage applications from people with disabilities, Indigenous, Black, and racialized individuals, as well as people from a diversity of ethnic and cultural origins, sexual orientations, gender identities and expressions.

Visit the OPS Anti-Racism Policy and the OPS Diversity and Inclusion Blueprint pages to learn more about the OPS commitment to advance racial equity, accessibility, diversity, and inclusion in the public service.

We offer employment accommodation across the recruitment process and all aspects of employment consistent with the requirements of Ontario's Human Rights Code. Refer to the "How to apply" section if you require a disability-related accommodation.

• Prosecuting major cybercrime cases in Ontario
