A major problem affecting the development of a more inclusive pretrial diversion program is a sparse array of community services suitable for such a program. Further, while there are currently a few good programs, the county and city governments appear unwilling to expand or even maintain these programs. The first step should be for the district attorney to lend his support to fundraising efforts on behalf of existing diversion programs. A low-cost step that would reduce the jail population of pretrial detainees involves the release of low-risk defendants who cannot put up low-money bail to a third person's custody, possibly a volunteer custodian. Once the capacity for expanded diversion has been established, the district attorney should proceed to develop an appropriate office policy that would make diversion systematic and uniform. Initially, pretrial diversion should be expanded to include minor felonies, older offenders, drug offenders, and others. Stages in both felony and misdemeanor cases where diversion decisions should be made in all but exceptional cases should be identified. Currently, the information system is adequate but incomplete. Recommendations are offered for adding file folders, assigning case numbers, locating closed case file cards, the use of an indictment worksheet, the use of docket sheets, and the generation of lists and statistics that would be helpful in managing the office. A supplementary report examines the structure and organization of the district attorney's office and its subsequent effect on the performance and morale of personnel. Recommendations are made to improve office performance. No references are included.
