Victim/Witness Assistance Program

It is a source of information and support for victims and a mediator and advocate for victims of crime in the criminal justice system.

Diversion Program

The Pre-trial Diversion Program, a program of the St. Croix County District Attorney's Office, is one in which eligible persons can divert out of the formal criminal court process.  Participants sign an Agreement by which they agree to remain law abiding and complete specific conditions required of them, such as to pay restitution; engage in community service work; secure needed psychiatric, alcohol and/or drug, or other counseling and/or attend specific classes.  They agree to take other appropriate measures to assure criminal behavior is not repeated.  In return for the successful completion of the program, the District Attorneys office agrees not to proceed with criminal prosecution.
