Colorado Diversion Programs and Contacts

Diversion provides an alternate path through the criminal legal system, instead of criminal trials that can end in conviction and sentencing. Goals of diversion include rehabilitation, prevention of future crimes, and repair of harm to crime victims, including payment of restitution. Diversion focuses on accountability, while allowing people to avoid consequences that criminal convictions may bring. Through diversion programs, people may receive help with challenges that led to their involvement in the criminal legal system. Diversion may offer treatment for mental health, substance use disorders, or other needs. Local district attorney (DA) offices, county criminal justice services agencies, or other organizations operate diversion programs within their judicial districts. These organizations make their own diversion eligibility decisions, handle scheduling, and determine diversion requirements.
