Community Accountability Program for Adult First Time Property Offenders

Page Content

​The Community Accountability Program for First Time Property Offenders was designed to divert first-time, low-risk adult property offenders from the criminal justice system prior to conviction.

Program basics

The program consists of paying restitution to the victim, paying a monthly program fee and completing community work service. Instead of paying the program fee, offenders can perform additional work service hours.

Some law enforcement agencies may also require a statement concerning the offender’s involvement in the incident.

Completion of the program

After the offender completes the terms and conditions of the agreement, the Attorney’s Office will dismiss the case. If the offender fails to complete any of the  terms and conditions, a hearing will be scheduled to resume criminal prosecution​. 

For more information, contact the Dakota County Attorney’s Office at 651-438-4438 or attorney@co.dak​ota.mn.us​.​
