Pre-Trial Diversion

General Information

The Pre-Trial Diversion Program is a program offered to people who have had little or no criminal background and who are charged with committing various misdemeanor offenses. This program is supervised by the Prosecutor’s Office. The diversion will last for six to twelve months depending on your offense. You will need to pay diversion program fees, court costs, obey all laws, and complete other classes or programs depending on your offense. If you are offered and accepted into the Diversion Program your case will be dismissed after the agreed upon time period (thereby avoiding a conviction) as long as the requirements and conditions specific to your agreement have been fulfilled.
