Direct Accountability & Stop Shop Theft

Direct Accountability Program

The Direct Accountability programs accept referrals screened by the Crown Attorney. Those eligible are assessed by Springboard staff working at court. The accused must accept responsibility for the offence and are assigned sanctions to complete in order to have the charge(s) withdrawn upon completion.  Restitution to victims is a priority as well as providing programming and referrals to address the underlying reasons for the offence.
