Post-charge Diversion and Deferred Prosecution Program
Start Date:
2014
Description:
The Barron County Diversion Court is a pre-conviction diversion program for low risk, low needs offenders charged with a criminal offense. Offenders selected by the District Attorney's office to participate in the program have specific, identifiable needs which can be addressed in a three to six month time period. These needs include reinstating a driver's license; completing an assessment for either substance abuse or violence; and/or owing restitution. Offenders may participate in restorative conference, alcohol or other drug treatment, or perform community service; all of which is monitored through returning appearances before the Circuit Court. Offenders are generally misdemeanants, however, some charged with felony level drug or theft charges have been admitted if they meet the criteria. To date, Diversion Court has been a great success with only a 2% recidivism rate for those who have successfully completed their contracts.

Other Diversion Program
Start Date:
2016
Description:
The Barron County Operating After Revocation Diversion Program enables first time offenders to reinstate their driver's license before a criminal complaint is even issued. After being cited by a law enforcement officer and referred to the District Attorney's office, the defendant meets with the Program Coordinator and enters into an agreement with the District Attorney's office, before charging, requiring the defendant to reinstate their driver's license within a specific timeframe. Once the agreement is fulfilled the District Attorney will dismiss the original citation.
