Pre-trial intervention, or PTI, is a diversionary program in New Jersey criminal courts. PTI is a program that is generally available to first-time offenders, in which offenders are offered rehabilitative services with the aim of enabling the offender to avoid future criminal behavior. In PTI, a defendant is expected to observe and fulfill certain conditions imposed by the court, which are usually tailored to a defendant’s individual circumstances. If a defendant meets the requirements of his or her PTI program, his or her criminal prosecution is terminated and he or she does not have a criminal conviction record as a result of his or her charges.
