2013 — The public prosecutor's office in incident-based investigations in Sint Maarten.

This report assesses the role of the Public Prosecutor's Office (OM) in incident-based investigations in St. Maarten, focusing on case selection and processing. The implementation of "case screening" in 2012 aimed to improve case management but has shown mixed results. While there has been progress in prioritizing cases and collaboration between the police and OM, significant challenges remain, including inadequate resources, poor communication, and a backlog of cases. The report offers recommendations for improving efficiency and cooperation between the involved entities.
