The Summit County Diversion Committee consists of representatives from various Summit County police jurisdictions. 

The Diversion Committee offers juvenile offenders of minor crimes the opportunity to avoid court involvement by working voluntarily with the appropriate police jurisdiction. 

The juvenile offender must admit the crime and the assigned Diversion Officer will monitor the juvenile’s case to ensure compliance with restitution to the victim, performance of community service, and participation in any appropriate services.  A juvenile's failure to comply with the Diversion Agreement results in a formal complaint being filed with the Summit County Juvenile Court.

The Diversion Committee meets on a monthly basis. A Summit County Assistant Prosecutor from the Delinquency/Unruly Division also sits on the committee.
