Deflection and pre-arrest diversion (DPAD) programs are designed to divert individuals with unmet social, economic, and health needs from entering the criminal justice system and into long-term treatment and support. 

The success of these programs relies heavily on the partnerships between community stakeholders, including first responders, treatment facilities, and social services. Involving prosecutors and judges in these existing partnerships can benefit DPAD programs and lessen the burden on the criminal justice system. 

Prosecutors and judges can play a key role in identifying who is eligible and ensuring they are connected with the services they need. During this webinar, you will hear from a prosecutor and judge as they share how they became involved in DPAD programs in their communities and the challenges they faced along the way.
