Deferred Prosecution /Bad Check Program

The Tazewell County State ’s Attorney’s Office received a federal grant in 1974 to create the first Pretrial Diversion Program in Illinois .  Today, the Tazewell County Deferred Prosecution Program continues to supervise non-violent adult misdemeanor and felony first offenders that are screened by the Tazewell County State ’s Attorney’s Office.  Eligible offenders must complete a voluntary period of supervision that may include restitution, counseling, community service, drug testing, etc.  Successful completion results in dismissal and failure to comply will result in formal prosecution of the offender.  Deferred Prosecution also screens all deceptive practice complaints for the Tazewell County State ’s Attorney’s Office and operates the Bad Check Program for  Tazewell County .
