Graphic 2: Large bold "Q:" letter with bold text to the right: What is Regional Center Diversion? Under, Large bold "A:" letter with text to the right: A set of programs that allows someone charged with a crime to avoid jail time and a criminal conviction by participating in treatment and education related to the issues underlying the initial arrest. This means that the person charged with a crime can go through the program to earn a dismissal of the charges rather than stand trial and be sentenced.

If the individual has a developmental disability or is eligible for regional center services and has committed a crime, this an alternative option that can result in a dismissal of charges.
