Allen Circuit Forensic Diversion Court

Since January 1, 2004 Allen County Community Corrections has worked to intervene in the cycles in which mentally ill individuals are repeatedly arrested and incarcerated for drug or alcohol related offenses.  The Forensic Diversion Program has operated through Allen County Community Corrections and Allen Circuit Court which provided regular judicial oversight of non-violent offenders, working to divert offenders who have violated conditions of probation. 

The Court has expanded and now assists and supervises all eligible dual-diagnosed felony offenders.
