Court Diversion

Court Diversion is an alternative to court involvement for first-time offenders. Volunteers from the community along with the youth's case worker write a contract for the youth to follow. The contract contains various tasks the youth must complete before the assigned deadline. Provided the youth completes the contract within the required timeframe, he/she does not have to appear in court for the offense.  

The Hanover Alcohol Diversion Program (18-20 Year Olds)

You will attend two (2) sessions.  The first is a group educational session that is held on a Saturday from 10-5.  The second session takes place a few days later and is a one-on-one half hour appointment with the Counselor.  The fee is $400.00.  (cash/check)

You must enroll in the program within one (1) week after your arrest.  If you don't enroll before your court date, you must appear in court.  If you enroll but don't complete the program, you must go to court.
