The Court will usually order CBS (instead of sentences such as imprisonment or a fine) for selected cases. If CBS is successfully completed, the offender is deemed to have no record of that conviction.

These are examples of CBS orders that can be made by a Court:

• Mandatory Treatment Order (MTO)

• Day Reporting Order (DTO)

• Community Work Order (CWO)

• Community Service Order (CSO)

• Short Detention Order (SDO)
