Adult Civil Citation Program
Program Description
Adult civil citations aim to keep people who commit certain non-violent misdemeanor offenses out of the court system and avoid an arrest record if they complete a formal program.
In this prearrest diversion program, Florida Statute 901.41 gives law enforcement agencies the sole discretion on whether to issue an adult civil citation or arrest an individual. If a civil citation is issued, the State Attorney’s Office will review the case and make the final determination on a person’s eligibility to participate in the Adult Civil Citation Program (ACCP).
Adults who are issued a civil citation and accepted into the program must:
- Pay a $175 program fee
- Pay the cost of any educational course
- Complete crime-specific education programs
- Complete community service hours
Successful completion of the ACCP will result in the State not filing charges and closing the individual’s case.
A person must be referred to the program by a participating law enforcement agency and cannot have a criminal conviction or civil citation history to be eligible for the ACCP.
The following criteria must also be met:
- Must be 18 years of age or older
- Have not been arrested 3 times or received any adult civil citation or other similar prearrest diversion program notice
- Individual must agree to participate in the ACCP
- There is probable cause to believe the person committed a qualifying offense
- Individual must wave speedy trial
- Individual must admit he or she committed the offense or does not contest the offense
- Be a United States Citizen, legal resident or visitor
