Everyone's pretty much dancing around it so far.\n\nThe prosecuting attorney and the District Attorney can be the same person.  Basically, whoever the attorney representing the People/State is the prosecuting attorney.  That person is responsible for receiving police reports after an arrest, determining if there is a basis for criminal charges, and proceeding with a prosecution of the Defendant if there is such a basis.\n\nProsecuting Attorneys generally include:  The Attorney General (for Federal Crimes, etc.), The District Attorney (a County Agency, responsible for prosecution of State Crimes), and The City Attorney (for State misdemeanors and municipal violations, as well as City Civil Law).  There may be other attorneys depending on the state, but those are the main agencies.\n\nThe Attorney General (A.G.), District Attorney (D.A.), and City Attorney are generally elected officers.  There are Assistants and Deputies who generally handle the individual cases.\n\nNote:  There's also JAG (Judge Advocate General) which handles Military Law.\n\nOn the other side, there are Defense Attorneys.  Defense Attorneys can be privately retained.  Individuals have a Constitutional right to representation by an attorney, so there is also the Public Defender who provides this service at no cost to the Defendant if the Defendant has no $$$.  Generally, the Public Defender (P.D.) is an elected officer, on a county basis, with Deputies and Assistants, much like the D.A.'s office.\n\nPrivate Counsel can sometimes be appointed at no cost if the P.D. has a conflict of interest on a particular case.  Often, there is another office of either County attorneys or private attorneys which acts as an Alternate Public Defender's Office.

A notary public is someone who can validate and authenticate certain kinds of documents. The name is rooted in Latin. The "public" part comes from the Latin word for "of the people" or basically, it was an official or government position. The "notary" part comes from one of the Latin words for writing. They were also called scribes. \n\nIf you visit a notary public, they basically check your ID so they can be sure you are who you say you are, then they watch you sign your documents, then they validate the document by stamping it with their seal.

In theory they are in charge of the various departments that make up the government.  Civil Servants do the work, Ministers make the decisions and then respond to the critisism in Parliament and through the media.\n\nIn practise most government ministers are not up to the job and end up wasting billions.  They 'hinder' rather than 'help' the government function.

The answer depends on the state, but they are usually given the same powers (arrest, immunity, etc.) as police officers,

Whats the Civil Service?\nGovernment officials employed in civil occupations that are neither political nor judicial. \n\nHow does it select its government workers? \nModern civil service personnel are usually chosen by examination and promoted on the basis of merit ratings and the seniority system.  In other countries, corruption and patronage are more important factors. \n\nThey often serve as neutral advisers to elected officials and political appointees. Though not responsible for making policy, they are charged with its execution.

The government is over the administration.  We have our national, state and city government.  We vote those to govern and in turn those we vote in, oversee the administrative part.

The structure of a city government varies widely depending on the size and makeup of the city. Most have a city commission or council, which is headed by the mayor.
