A conviction is a permanent part of your criminal record and may affect job or professional school opportunities. The effect it will have on your future depends on the nature of the crime and the type of job you are seeking. Completion of the Pretrial Diversion Program will keep a conviction off your record but it will not erase the record of your arrest or citation.
