Samoa Police will start to prosecute domestic violence cases from September 1 because of a shortage of manpower at the Attorney-General's office.
Police Commissioner Auapa'au Logoitino Filipo said police prosecution is ready to take on the task, and was requested by the Attorney-General.
Meanwhile, the Samoa Observer reports the New Zealand Police have been in the country to conduct the second phase of the prosecution training for police officers.
