English translation:Deputy Public Prosecutor
Explanation:
The Stv. is Stellvertretender, so it's the DPP or Deputy Public Prosecutor here (who seem to do most of the work). There are federal and cantonal prosecutors in Switzerland, so this will be a cantonal prosecutor for Schwyz rather than the federal prosecutor's office (the Attorney General of Switzerland).
