Jefferson Co. Constable David Whitlock sues Metro Government

Yes, but the diversion program stays on record for several years until the conditions are met for dismissal. The arrest and every thing else is available and will show on a records check. Read this article: http://nky-criminal-defense.com/2010/03/how-does-diversion-work-in-kentucky/ . It's unclear from this article if the victim has any say in whether they must agree to the program or not, but considering how long the program can last and dependent on completion, do they really call everyone back in to court (victims, officers involved) and enact a gag order? I find that hard to believe. (No, I'm not an officer.)

Also you have to enter an alford plea or plead guilty to even begin the diversion program. The whole diversion system is messed up and shouldn't even be allowed for felonies anyways.
