Pre-Charge Diversion Program and Direct Accountability Program


Description

The Direct Accountability Program is a court-referred post-charge provincial diversion program for adults, offering individuals charged with specific offences an opportunity to participate in alternate sanctions.

The Pre-Charge Diversion Program supports individuals referred by the Kawartha Lakes Police Service by providing counselling and opportunities to make amends with those harmed by their actions. Counselling supports the development of more positive responses to reduce recidivism while holding individuals accountable for their actions.
