Note on Table Creation: The information in the tables comes from databases that are always being updated. As a result, the tables only show the information that was in the databases on the day they were created. Information in the databases can change because cases that were disposed at the time the table was created were later reopened, or because of the late entry of data. Because of this, all of the tables are created on the 5th business day after the close of the fiscal year.

• Community Service Labor Program – Suspended Prosecution - The Community Service Labor Program (CSLP) (section 53a-39c of the Connecticut General Statutes) is available for persons charged with violating drug paraphernalia or illegal possession statutes (section 21a-267 or 21a-279 of the Connecticut General Statutes). A person who previously has been convicted of a violation of section 21-267, 21a-277, 21a-278 or 21a-279 of the Connecticut General Statutes is not eligible for the program. The program may be granted (1) as a “suspended prosecution” pretrial diversionary program, or (2) for a person who has previously participated in the program, as a condition of probation or conditional discharge with a suspended sentence. No person may be placed in the program more than twice.
  
  A person who is granted the “suspended prosecution” program is referred to the Court Support Services Division (CSSD) for placement in the program. A drug education component is required. If the defendant successfully completes the program, the charges are dismissed by the court. The period of community service will be a minimum of 14 days for a first violation and 30 days for a second violation involving a plea of guilty and conviction.
