Community Diversion Program (CDP) | Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court - Juvenile Division
Works in conjunction with participating communities to offer youth an opportunity to perform community service or other sanction and have their record cleared instead of appearing in juvenile court for their offense. A conference is held with the youth, youth's parents or legal guardian, and a magistrate. Once a sanction is set, generally community service, the city oversees the youth to insure compliance to terms. After youth completes the sanction, he/she is placed on inactive probation.
