The purposes of the diversion program include:

1.    To provide eligible defendants with an alternative to confinement and a criminal conviction;
2.    To reduce the costs and caseload burdens on district courts in the criminal justice system;
3.    To minimize recidivism among diverted defendants;
4.    To promote the collection or restitution to the victim of the defendant's crime; and 
5.    To develop responsible alternatives to the criminal justice system for eligible defendants. 

Please check out the Diversion Program requirements and complete an application to determine if the program is right for you.
