The Legislature finds that pretrial diversion offers persons charged with criminal offenses and minor traffic violations an alternative to traditional criminal justice proceedings in that:
(1)It permits participation by the accused only on a voluntary basis;
(2)the accused has access to counsel for criminal offenses prior to a decision to participate;
(3)it occurs prior to an adjudication but after arrest and a decision has been made by the prosecutor that the offense will support criminal charges; and
(4)it results in dismissal of charges, or its equivalent, if the individual successfully completes the diversion process.
