Online Diversion Application

You MAY be eligible to participate in the Morris County Diversion Program. Participation in this program is a privilege, not a right, and the final decision to accept you into the program rests solely with the Morris County Attorney or a designated representative. To be considered for participation in the program, you must submit an application immediately so that the process may be started in a timely manner.

The intent of this program is to provide a second chance to those who are willing to accept accountability and responsibility for his or her actions and to continue life with a "clean slate."

The Diversion Coordinator will request a local record check, KBI check, and/or a driving record to help determine whether or not acceptance into the program will be granted. If you qualify for the Diversion Program, you will need to follow all terms and conditions set forth in the Diversion Agreement. You will be supervised for a specified period of time through the Morris County Attorney's Office. You will need to pay as directed, refrain from violating the law and complete all other requirements as ordered. The requirements will be different depending on what you have been charged with.

If there are any violations, a revocation of the diversion will be ordered, therefore, a stipulation and conviction on the original charges will be sought.

If there are any questions regarding the Diversion Program, please contact the Morris County Attorney's Office.
