Deferred Entry of Judgment (DEJ) is designed for a population of drug offenders, who enter a plea of guilty or nolo contendere ("no contest") to legally-specified drug-related charges. The offenders are ordered to participate in a program of drug education and counseling.

Offenders successfully completing DEJ benefit from having their plea withdrawn and case dismissed at the end of their term of DEJ. They are also placed on DEJ probation, usually for 12-18 months, during which their performance is monitored by a DEJ Deputy Probation Officer (DPO). The DPOs monitor treatment progress and any new arrests. They report their findings to the Court and recommend potential court actions.
