New Jersey Pretrial Intervention (PTI)

The  Pre-trial Intervention (PTI) program offers defendants an alternative to the  traditional criminal justice process.  PTI  offers early rehabilitative services, when such services can reasonably be  expected to deter future criminal behavior.   The PTI program is based on a rehabilitative model that recognizes the  connection between the offense charged and the needs of a defendant. Additionally,  this model is based on the reality that social, cultural, and economic  conditions often result in a defendant’s decision to commit crime.  Simply put, PTI attempts to solve the  problems which tend to result from the conditions that appear to cause crime.  Ultimately, the program seeks to deter future criminal behavior by a defendant.

There are several  benefits to PTI.  First, if the program  is successfully completed, there is no record of conviction.  As a result, the defendant avoids the stigma  of a criminal record.   Second, early  intervention encourages rehabilitation soon after the alleged offense, in an  attempt to correct the behavior that led to the alleged crime.  Third, the high costs associated with the  formal court process are avoided when a defendant is accepted into PTI.  Fourth, the early resolution of the case  serves the interests of the victim, the public and the defendant. Finally, PTI lightens  the scheduling burden on Courts and permits resources to be devoted to more  serious crimes.

The period of PTI probation may average from one  to three years. There are certain basic conditions that are imposed on those  accepted into the program.  For instance,  PTI often requires random urine monitoring.  The program may also require a term of  community service, payment of restitution, and submission to psychological  and/or substance abuse evaluations.  Upon  successful completion of PTI, the original charges are dismissed.  More important, there is no record of  conviction.  If a defendant fails to  successfully complete PTI, then he or she is terminated from the program and  the case is returned to the trial list.

Any  defendant who is charged with an indictable offense may apply to PTI.  However, admission guidelines stated in the  Court Rules provide certain criteria.    First, PTI is offered only to adult offenders and not juveniles.  Second, PTI was created for New Jersey residents.  Nevertheless, residents of other states who  are charged with offenses in New    Jersey may apply to the program.  Third, only defendants charged with criminal  offenses may apply for PTI.  Those  charged with motor vehicle offenses may not apply. Fourth, defendants charged  with less serious offenses are not eligible.   Fifth, defendants who have been previously convicted are  generally not permitted into PTI. Sixth, as a general rule parolees and  probationers are not permitted.  Finally,  defendants who have previously been granted a diversionary program or  conditional discharge are not permitted into PTI.
