Community Diversion Program 
The Olmsted Falls Community Diversion Program has been developed for juveniles with first-time status offenses and misdemeanor crimes in order to avoid formal court action. Instead, the program creates a link between the community and the child, by utilizing community resources to address problems brought to the attention of the court.  For more information please see brochure or contact Juvenile Officer Joseph Brewer at 440-427-2329.
