NEIGHBORHOOD COURTS INFORMATIONAL TOWN HALL SERIES
The Santa Cruz County District Attorney’s Office announces it is hosting a series of four town halls to share and discuss information about a new Neighborhood Courts program with members of the Board of Supervisors and law enforcement leaders throughout the county. Each town hall will take place virtually and will feature Supervisors and law enforcement leaders from the same district.
The Neighborhood Courts is a community-driven, pre‐filing diversion program designed to divert low-level misdemeanor offenses from entering the criminal justice system. First-time offenders are given an opportunity to go through a community‐based process using restorative justice principles instead of a courtroom. Neighborhood Courts addresses criminal violations that impact the quality of life in the community and is an alternative to entering into criminal court. The purpose of the program is to: reduce recidivism, address the harm, and restore the local community, victim, and offender back into the community.
The Neighborhood Courts Informational Town Hall Series will be held virtually due to the ongoing COVID‐19 public health concerns.
Members of the public may attend the town hall meetings via Zoom using a computer, smartphone, or dial‐in phone.
Townhall series information, dates, times, and login information are as follows:
