Pre-Trial Diversion
What if I was offered Pre-Trial Diversion at court and left before seeing the Coordinator?
You may not be eligible to receive Pre-Trial Diversion for failure to report to the Pre-Trial Diversion Coordinator as ordered by the Court. Please appear at your next indicated court date or a Warrant may be issued for your arrest.
What happens if I do not comply with ALL of the conditions of my performance agreement with the MOA / Pre-Trial Diversion Program?
You are required to complete EVERY condition of the Performance agreement within the specified time period given. If you have not performed ALL of the conditions your case is subject to Reinstitution of Prosecution and may render you ineligible for any future participation or reassignment into the Pre-Trial Diversion Program. If you are reassigned you could be subject to a re-assignment fee up to $250.00 and an increase in your Community Work Service Hours. If you have not completed your requirements it is imperative that you appear at your next assigned court date. This date is located in your Pre-Trial Diversion Performance Agreement. You may also contact the Alaska Court System at 907-274-8611 or look up your case status in “COURTVIEW” on the court website under the dockets tab. If you fail to appear a Warrant may be issued for your arrest.
I thought the charges were dismissed, why are they on my criminal record?
If you have successfully completed Pre-Trial Diversion we will file a dismissal with the Alaska Court System. Because you were charged with a crime, there will always be a public record for this case and the charges will appear in your Criminal HISTORY. A dismissed case should not appear in your Criminal CONVICTION history.
I left the Courthouse without being fingerprinted. What do I do?
Please Contact the Department of Corrections Fingerprint Office at 907-264-0784.
I have been charged with a New Jailable Offense, what is going to happen to my Pre-Trial Diversion case?
Your Pre-Trial Diversion case is subject to Reinstitution of Prosecution for a violation of your probation. This applies even if you have complied with all of your other conditions. When you are charged with a new offense the old case is reviewed and a determination is made as to whether it will be reinstituted or remain in the Pre-Trial Diversion program. You should inform your PTD coordinator as soon as possible of any new charges.
I would like to participate in Pre-Trial Diversion, how can I get into the program?
Pre-Trial Diversion is not an opt in program. Cases are reviewed for eligibility prior to arraignment. If you are eligible, a Pre-Trial Diversion offer may be given to you at your initial arraignment. Please report to the court at the date and time indicated on your Uniform Summons/Citation. If you fail to appear a Warrant may be issued for your arrest.
