Military Diversion may be an option for you if you are a veteran who has been charged with a criminal offense.
Military Diversion is a program that allows veterans to participate in a rehabilitation program instead of going to jail. This program is run by the California Department of Veterans Affairs (CDVA).
In this blog post, we will discuss what Military Diversion is and who is eligible to participate. We will also discuss the Veteran’s Affairs programs that may fall under Penal Code 1001.80 and which offenses fall under Penal Code 1001.80.
