What is a diversion agreement?
A diversion agreement is an agreement between the State of Kansas and a defendant charged with a crime whereby the defendant agrees to comply with conditions set forth by the prosecutor. If all conditions are met, the charge against the defendant is dismissed. Therefore, the defendant does not have a conviction for the offense charged. This is generally limited to first-time offenders and is determined on a case-by-case basis at the discretion of the prosecutor.
