The Lakewood Probation Division supervises both juvenile and adult offenders. Probation officers assess each individual case, refer defendants to classes or counseling, make recommendations to the Court and manage the case for a determined amount of time. The Probation Division manages all supervised deferred judgment, probation and community service cases, as well as, jail and case reviews. The Probation Division also offers programs for youth.

Diversion or Probation:

The Diversion program is for first time offenders of non-traffic offenses. It is an agreement offered by the City of Lakewood Prosecutor's office, and approved by a Judge where a guilty plea is entered, held in abeyance and eventually dismissed upon the completion of specific terms set by the probation division.

Probation is a program available for individuals with past criminal histories, or those individuals convicted after a trial. A specific set of terms is recommended to the Judge by the probation division. Once approved, the case is held in an probationary status for a set period of time. Upon the successful completion of the program the case is closed.
