The objective of the Platte County Adult Diversion program is to provide an alternative to court for eligible adult offenders charged with lower level offenses. The program offers an agreed upon term of months of supervision in order to hold offenders accountable, using rehabilitative and educational programs in order to obtain eventual dismissal of the case.
