Normally, the investigation process starts the criminal process. Officially, however, one must be charged with a crime before the criminal process may take course.
Another View: While the above is somewhat correct - in day-to-day reality it is usually the arrest of a perpetrator which begins the majority of criminal cases. Investigations MAY begin a case, but usually ONLY if it is necessary for probable cause to be established before a warrant can be applied for or an indictment can be sought.
The question is somewhat unclear - - The arresting officer is usually the first person in the criminal justice system who makes initial contact with the defendant. At arraignment the defendant will appear before a judge and may possibly be introduced to a public defender, given the opportunity to obtain their own private attorney. After arraignment, the defendant's case will be assigned to a prosecutor who will be responsible for preparing and prosecuting the case against them.

Why are most criminal cases heard in state courts?
Most criminal cases are heard in state courts because criminal law is primarily under the jurisdiction of state governments. States have their own criminal codes and court systems to handle cases involving violations of state laws. Federal courts typically only hear criminal cases involving violations of federal laws.
