1 SHANNON G. WALLACE District Attorney Office Of The District Attorney BLUE RIDGE JUDICIAL CIRCUIT Cherokee County Justice Center 90 North Street, Suite 390 Canton, Georgia Phone Fax BLUE RIDGE JUDICIAL CIRCUIT PRETRIAL DIVERSION PROGRAM (BRJCPDP) GUIDELINES FOR ELIGIBILITY, ACCEPTANCE, AND ADMINISTRATION PROTOCOL I. PURPOSE The Blue Ridge Judicial Circuit Pretrial Diversion Program, hereinafter referred to as BRJCPDP, was created pursuant to O.C.G.A as an alternative to prosecuting offenders in the traditional manner through the criminal justice system. This program is designed to serve low-level, low-risk offenders with no previous felony convictions who are charged with non-violent crimes in the Superior Court of Cherokee County and are charged with an offense for which the law does not provides a mandatory minimum sentence of incarceration or imprisonment that cannot be suspended, probated or deferred. This program is designed to meet the needs of certain non-violent offenders in an attempt to deter future criminal conduct while also minimizing loss to these victims through payment of restitution by the offender; to serve the courts by reducing the number of less serious cases being processed by the criminal justice system which will permit more time for the system to focus on more serious crimes; and to protect the community by closely supervising and monitoring these offenders following arrest until final disposition of their case through use of community resources appropriate for the offender and the case. II. ADMINISTRATION A. Monitoring of Program 1. The District Attorney shall designate a Pretrial Diversion Coordinator, hereinafter referred to as PDC. The PDC will assist in developing policy and procedures for the successful administration of the BRJCPDP and shall monitor the participants throughout their participation in the BRJCPDP. 2. An administrative assistant and victim-witness advocate shall be appointed to assist the PDC with the administration of the BRJCPDP. 3. The investigator originally assigned to the case shall remain on the case throughout continuation in the BRJCPDP.

Said fee may only be waived in part or in whole or made payable in monthly increments upon a written showing of good cause to the District Attorney and upon approval of the District Attorney. a) Participant will submit the administrative program fee to the PDC and shall receive a receipt of monies paid from the PDC at the Participant Orientation. 4. In addition to the administrative program fee, participants will pay fees directly to the Cherokee County DUI Court Lab (herein after referred to as Lab ) for drug and alcohol testing while in BRJCPDP in an amount to be determined based on the Track in which the participant is placed. a) Participants in Track I shall submit $361 in the form of a money order made payable to the Cherokee County DUI Court Lab at the initial orientation for all drug and alcohol testing required by the BRJCPDP. Said fee shall not be waived in part or in whole or made payable in monthly increments. b) Participants in Track II will pay $25 in the form of a money order made payable to the Cherokee County DUI Court Lab at the initial orientation for the first test and shall pay $15 (money order only) for each subsequently requested drug test directly to the Lab prior to submitting to said testing.

3 5.
