Typically, diversion applications are processed within twenty-four (24) hours of receipt. However, it is strongly encouraged that a diversion application be submitted at least three (3) business days before the court appearance. Requests for expedited processing of applications will likely be denied as this creates further delay to other applications waiting to be processed.
