Opportunities to stay out of the prison system and enter treatment programs are offered to low-risk and first-time offenders.

Community
Through local programs, DAs educate the community and engage their constituents in criminal justice discussions.
Diversion Programs
Colorado district attorneys recognize the difference between someone who intentionally causes harm to their community and people who make a mistake. For the latter, diversion offers an alternative solution to prison in achieving justice, increasing accountability and providing treatment resources to prevent future offenses.
Special Courts
Also known as problem-solving courts, these programs are designed to pursue accountability while recognizing the unique needs of juveniles and people suffering from mental and behavioral health issues, addiction or trauma related to military service.
Community Programs
District attorneys serve the people in their jurisdiction and are dedicated to engaging their constituents in adult and K-12 educational opportunities, creating crime prevention initiatives and raising awareness of resources available to victims through local nonprofit and community-based initiatives.
