  We introduce a new class of "filtered" schemes for some first order
non-linear Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equations. The work follows recent ideas of
Froese and Oberman (SIAM J. Numer. Anal., Vol 51, pp.423-444, 2013). The
proposed schemes are not monotone but still satisfy some $\epsilon$-monotone
property. Convergence results and precise error estimates are given, of the
order of $\sqrt{\Delta x}$ where $\Delta x$ is the mesh size. The framework
allows to construct finite difference discretizations that are easy to
implement, high--order in the domains where the solution is smooth, and
provably convergent, together with error estimates. Numerical tests on several
examples are given to validate the approach, also showing how the filtered
technique can be applied to stabilize an otherwise unstable high--order scheme.
