History
A Criminal Law Division of the Ontario Department of the Attorney General was formed in 1964. The head of the Division was the Director of Public Prosecutions. Although the Division was abolished in 1969, the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions continued, and was attached to the Crown Law Office in 1970. A new Criminal Law Division was established in 1977, when the civil and criminal responsibilities of the Crown Law Office were divided to form separate Civil Law and Criminal Law divisions.
