Hosted by The Council of State Governments (CSG) Justice Center and the Bureau of Justice Assistance. This virtual roundtable provided participants with basic strategies to initiate collaboration with prosecutors and highlight prosecutor-led programs that are being implemented in diverse jurisdictions across the country. Successful diversion programs require collaborative efforts and engagement from prosecutors, community-based providers, and criminal justice stakeholders. Through authentic engagement between internal and external stakeholders, diversion efforts can help jurisdictions create systemic and sustainable change in their communities. Participants learn directly from prosecutors about meaningful ways for varied system actors to engage with prosecutors to establish and create diversion programming.
Speakers included: David LaBahn, President/CEO, Association of Prosecuting Attorneys; Rebecca Neville, Staff Attorney, Association of Prosecuting Attorneys; Jeff Howes, First Assistant to the District Attorney, Multnomah County District Attorney's Office; and Lara Roetzel, Chief Deputy, Pennington County State's Attorney's Office.
