Offenses:
- Resisting Officer Without Violence (as a stand-alone charge) or Resisting Officer Without Violence with a misdemeanor drug possession, or third-degree felony drug possession charge.
Program Eligibility
A prior criminal history is not a per se bar to participation. The majority of Resisting Officer Without Violence cases will be eligible for this program. This class may not be repeated inside of a six-month period.
Actions required by the defendant:
Defendants who qualify will watch the free online Resisting Officer Without Violence Education Course. The defendant will complete the prompts at the end of the course which will result in a certificate which the offender will keep for their own records. The offender will produce the printed certificate or a screen shot of the certificate as proof of completion to the prosecutor assigned to the case at the next court appearance, or, for an out of town participant, submit this electronically or via U.S. Mail, prior to the next court appearance. Thereafter a No Information or Nolle Pros will be filed.
