Post-charge Diversion and Deferred Prosecution Program
Description:
Identified cases are selected by the DA's office 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.
