Post-charge Diversion and Deferred Prosecution Program

Start Date: 
2023
Description: 
Post Charge diversion program allows low risk individuals to enter into an agreement, known as a Deferred Prosecution Agreement (DPA). In exchange for pleas to select charges, the offender is given an opportunity to avoid a conviction on those charges. If certain conditions are met within a stated time, the charges are ultimately reduced or dismissed. If the DPA is not complied with, the pleas are accepted by the Court, convictions entered, and sentence imposed.
