Type and Scope of services to be performed:
This proposed Resolution Request regards the acceptance of the Caring for Denver Foundation grant award.
The Denver District Attorney Adult Diversion Program provides culturally competent services that repair the harm caused by crime to victims and the community, increases social competency skills of offenders, and helps to reduce the likelihood of further involvement in the court system. The grant from the Caring for Denver Foundation will allow the Adult Diversion Program to maintain two Diversion Officers and continue providing Correctional Treatment services for the next three years.
The program will divert approximately 120 defendants from formal prosecution per year using evidence-based practices to help deter them from further involvement in the criminal justice system. With the Adult Diversion Program’s focus of addressing the unique individual client needs, the judicial system in Denver will develop responses that limit the risk to self, family, and the community at large. The Adult Diversion Program will have four primary macro goals including, (1) Reducing offender recidivism, (2) Remediate underlying issues that led to the offense, including substance abuse and mental health issues, while allowing offenders to avoid being criminally charged through a pre-file process initially, which provides a unique opportunity to refer clients to services as close to the criminal offense as possible, (3) Increase protective factors to help clients thrive in their respective community by addressing unique needs of clients following assessment, (4) Provide a cost saving alternative to traditional prosecution.
