The Fayette County Attorney's Office offers a variety of diversion programs to maximize public safety, reduce recidivism, and enhance a fair and efficient criminal justice system.

Each case is subject to individualized review and eligibility to participate in the program will depend on the specific circumstances of the case.

Although diversion programs provide many benefits, not everyone is eligible to participate. Once your application is submitted, it will be reviewed to determine if your case is eligible for a treatment program.
