The Northern Territory's leading Aboriginal justice agency have said they are concerned by a proposal by the NT police to recall police prosecutors to frontline policing.

On Friday, the North Australian Aboriginal Justice Agency (NAAJA), who have argued against the over-policing of NT communities - especially Indigenous Territorians - said they had been advised the Alice Springs Prosecution Unit had lost three prosecutors this week alone, and were anticipating losing more in the next fortnight.

"Removing police prosecutors from an already overwhelmed court system is an alarming and incredibly disappointing decision by the NT Government," a NAAJA spokesperson said, arguing it was "prioritising propping up the increasing police presence in Alice Springs at the expense of the courts".

The recent youth curfew in Mparntwe/Alice Springs has seen the NT police force stretched, with some officers from Darwin being relieved by police from South Australia this week.

NAAJA have been vocal in their criticism of the curfew, calling it a "knee-jerk" reaction that won't alleviate crime and would expose more Aboriginal children to over policing, rhetoric that was recently criticised by Labor Senator Malarndirri McCarthy.

However, the NT government has routinely defended the curfew - which will end on Tuesday - and have said they believe it could work in the future if circumstances called for its implementation.

On Friday, the NAAJA spokesperson said: "The Central Australian court system is already stretched to its limits, with courts cutting back sitting hours due to the sheer volume of cases and shortage of staff".

"Recalling police prosecutors to frontline duties will only exacerbate this problem," the spokesperson said.

"As we said this week, an unprecedented investment in policing resources must be matched with a commensurate investment in the criminal justice system, including courts and specialised legal services."

The NT government has announced increased funding in a recruitment drive for more police in the Territory. It comes as a commissioned report called for increased funding as a result of demand being "unequivocally" at its highest level ever, as well as morale being low due to a series of public events in the last five years.

These 'events' include a current ICAC investigation into the elite Territory Response Group (TRG) for a series of racist "awards", revealed during the coronial inquest into the shooting death of Indigenous man Kumanjayi Walker.

On Thursday, it was revealed the TRG had shared images of a racist monopoly board game in 2008, with Police Commissioner Michael Murphy accepting it was likely more racist imagery would come out during the investigation.
