Traffic Deferrals

The Decatur County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office has an infraction deferral program, under Indiana Code 34-28-5-1(f), available for those who have been cited for some infraction offenses. When a person completes this program, the infraction ticket is dismissed and no judgments or points will be noted on the person’s driving or court record.
