Pre-Prosecution Diversion Program

Pre-Prosecution Diversion Program

  • The PPD program is a partnership between SWDH and the Canyon County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office. PPD’s goal is to divert adults with behavioral health needs from entering or repeatedly entering deeper into the justice system, consistent with public safety, by improving outcomes through early intervention, case management, and referral to care and supportive services.
  • The Canyon County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office will refer individuals to the PPD program to be screened by a selection panel to ensure they are appropriate for the program.
  • Eligibility includes individuals not currently on community supervision, diagnosed with a behavioral health need, and amenable to treatment. ​
