All fees paid to the district attorney by offenders pursuant to this subpart shall be paid into the District Attorney’s Solicitor Fund. The district attorney shall disburse 10 percent to the Sheriff of Etowah County to be deposited into the Law Enforcement Fund, and 10 percent, if the Sixteenth Judicial Circuit has one, to an approved child advocacy center. The remainder of the funds shall be used to pay costs associated with the administration of the pretrial diversion program or for any other law enforcement purpose. Costs associated with program administration shall include, but shall not be limited to, salaries, rent, vehicles, uniforms, telephones, postage, office supplies and equipment, training and travel services, service contracts, or professional services. The district attorney may pay for services or programs for an offender while the offender is in the pretrial division program if special circumstances and justice dictate.
