funcionário público


Explanation:
Extraído do Merriam Webster:
"Main Entry: public servant
Function: noun
Date: 1676
: a government official or employee." Outras alternativas seriam funcionário do estado ou funcionário da administração pública. Curiosamente, há ainda algumas designações oficiais que se referem a "servidores do estado", como, por exemplo, em ADSE, Assistência na Doença aos Servidores do Estado.

Delegado do Ministério Público


Explanation:
I think the other translators answered correctly, but I suggest this one due to the fact that you mentioned the district attorney, so you mean the attorney that represents the state. In Portugal this attorneys are called Delegados do Ministério Público.
Good work!
