Please see the list below for more information on each of the Court programs. Alcohol Treatment Program All DUI and Wet/Reckless Vehicle Code convictions require attendance and completion of an Alcohol Program licensed by the State of California Department of Alcohol and Drugs as required by the Department of Motor Vehicles. Ignition Interlock Device An ignition interlock device (IID) is a device slightly larger than a cell phone that is wired to your vehicle's ignition. The device can be installed in a vehicle while you wait and after installation, it requires your breath sample before the engine will start. If the IID detects alcohol on your breath, the engine will not start. As you drive, you are periodically required to provide breath samples to ensure the continued absence of alcohol in your system. DUI convictions may require the installation of an ignition interlock device. A first-time DUI conviction, the Court has the discretion to order the installation of the interlock device, though the Court will give heightened consideration in cases involving a Blood Alcohol Content that is .15 or higher, where there is a refusal to take a chemical test, or where there is an accident or some other aggravating factor. On a subsequent DUI conviction, the Court is required to order the installation of an ignition interlock device; the court has the discretion to order the device for one year, two years, or three years. The California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) maintains a list of approved Interlock Device providers accessible from the DMV website at: Ignition Interlock Device List . Jail Sentence Alternative Programs Work Alternative Program If you have been sentenced to serve a jail sentence of 40 days or less, you may be eligible to serve your sentence in the WORK ALTERNATIVE PROGRAM (WAP), i.e. community service. WAP is an alternative to incarceration. For more information contact the Monterey County Sheriff's Office . Supervised Home Confinement If you have been sentenced to serve a jail sentence, you may be eligible to serve your sentence in the Supervised Home Confinement Program (SHC). SHC is a custodial supervision program for non-violent offenders managed by the Monterey County Probation Department; this program is an alternative to incarceration in the County Jail. Participants who apply to and are accepted into the program are monitored at their homes, schools, and jobs through a tamper-proof ankle device worn to track their location. Those who violate the rules of the program by leaving the preset transmitter coverage area are returned to jail to complete their sentences and could face additional penalties for violations of probation terms. Participants are charged a fee for this service; the fee is based upon the defendant's income and ability to pay. For more information contact Monterey County Probation Department . The Theft Offender Program The Judge may order a defendant to attend and complete a theft offender class as part of a Pretrial Diversion Program or as a condition of sentencing. The program is an 8 hour educational awareness and prevention class for persons charged with a minor theft offense. A registration fee will be required by the program and is to be paid directly to the program. The Assaultive Behavior Program The Judge may order a defendant to attend and complete an Assaultive Behavior class as part of a Pretrial diversion program or as a condition of sentencing. The program is an 8 hour educational awareness and prevention class for persons charged with a minor assault offense or who may show signs of aggressiveness or assaultive behavior. The class is designed to provide insight and encourage participants to make decisions and changes to avoid a repeat offense. A registration fee will be required by the program and is to be paid directly to the program. Deferred Entry of Judgment Drug Program – Misdemeanors (PC §1000.1) One common form of diversion is called Deferred Entry of Judgment or DEJ. It is usually offered to a first-time drug offender who is charged with under the influence or simple possession of drugs for personal use. The Deferred Entry of Judgment program is implemented through collaboration between the Superior Court, Monterey County Probation Department, Monterey County Behavioral Health services, the District Attorney's Office, the Public Defender's Office and treatment providers. For Deferred Entry, the eligible defendant enters a guilty plea to the underlying charge(s). The Judge places the defendant on a deferred entry of judgment (diversion) program for a maximum of 18 months. Defendant(s) are referred to the court approved program, which includes mandatory counseling sessions at Valley Health Associates. Upon successful completion of a deferred entry of judgment program, the arrest upon which the judgment was deferred shall be deemed to have never occurred. The defendant may indicate in response to any question concerning his or her prior criminal record that he or she was not arrested or granted deferred entry of judgment for the offense, except as specified in Penal Code section 1001 subdivision (b). A record pertaining to an arrest resulting in successful completion of a deferred entry of judgment program shall not, without the defendant's consent, be used in any way that could result in the denial of any employment, benefit, license, or certificate. Note: Deferred entry of judgment only applies to eligible drug related offense(s). Substance Abus Traffic Records | Monterey Skip to main content Skip to main content.
