(1) Dismissals include cases in which the defendant has successfully completed the terms of deferred prosecution.
(2) Charge dispositions do not reflect outstanding warrants. DUI charge dispositions--like DUI charges--include those for any secondary charge on a DUI citation.
(3) This reporting category is specific to DUI charges.
(4) Includes criminal offenses resolved by Bail Forfeiture through 6/30/2012. Beginning 7/1/2012, all criminal offenses require a mandatory court appearance. Criminal offense cases may no longer be resolved by bail forfeiture. (CrRLJ 3.2)
