atención al público

English translation: Public services

Spanish term or phrase: atención al público
en un documento de penales argentino pone lo siguiente:

"firmado por doña x, jefa Sub-area Atención al Público".

No creo que sea Customer Service pues en este caso no se trata de la atención a clientes sino al público general desde un servicio público (funcionariado).

Gracias

Department of Public Service


Explanation:
Many US states have a Department of Public Service, such as Vermont and New York State. For example http://publicservice.vermont.gov/. I would recommend public service.
