The North Fraser County Crown Attorney's Office is the chief prosecution authority of North Fraser County and all constituent municipalities, led by the North Fraser County Crown Attorney. The North Fraser County Crown Attorney's Office is an integral part of the North Fraser County Department of Justice, with the County Crown Attorney the second-highest ranking official of the department, after the county's Secretary of Justice, who leads the North Fraser County Department of Justice and is appointed by the North Fraser County Council.

The North Fraser County Crown Attorney's Office is responsible for all prosecutions at the county level within North Fraser County, and has a designated Deputy Crown Attorney responsible for each incorporated municipality of the county. Most municipal-level cases, including criminal cases, are handled by the deputies, but all county-level prosecutions as well as more serious municipal-level prosecutions are the responsibility of the County Crown Attorney him/herself.

The North Fraser County Crown Attorney's Office is located at 6161 Deer Lake Parkway in Burnaby, the administrative seat of North Fraser County, adjacent to Burnaby City Hall, Deer Lake Hall (headquarters of North Fraser County Council), and Deer Lake Police Station.
