Dutch term
Functioneel Parket
Dutch to English
Social Sciences
Law (general)
Law Enforcement and Judiciary
Openbaar Ministerie
Functional Parquet Amsterdam
and then the name of the person and his function 'Officier van Justitie', which I translate as as 'Public Prosecutor'
as far as Functioneel Parket : I understand what the department does: they pursue environmental misdemeanors but I can't think of a comparable institution in English. Only EPA ( Environmental Protection Agency) comes to mind. There is also a slight problem with the specifics: most major cities in Holland have their own Functioneel Parket . It seems to follow the changing map of Dutch regional jurisdictions - does it have to be expressed in the name?

leave it in Dutch
Het Functioneel Parket is een specialistisch, landelijk opererend onderdeel van het Openbaar Ministerie, dat zich toelegt op de bestrijding van complexe fraude en milieucriminaliteit en in het afwikkelen van complexe ontnemingszaken.
I would leave it in Dutch, as it's a specifically Dutch institution - just as you wouldn't translate, say, sûreté or gendearmerie in French. If necessary, you could add a few words of explanation.
