Deferred Prosecution

Each field probation district has one probation officer dedicated to Deferred Prosecution, which is a non-judicial early intervention program frequently utilized with low-risk, first time offenders.

The goal of this intervention is to provide necessary services to youths and familiesaimed at preventing further penetration of these minor offenders into the juvenile justice system.  Agreements are made with these youth/families whereby compliance with and completion of an individualized service plan will keep the youths from having to appear in Court for their offense.  Deferred Prosecution agreements typically include the brokering of voluntary participation in counseling services, restitution agreements or other community interventions that can meet the specific needs of the youth without a formal period of court-ordered probation.
