Weed and Seed

Weed and Seed remains a high priority of the District. Weed and Seed is a community-based, comprehensive, multi-agency approach to combating violent crime, drug use and gang activity in high-crime neighborhoods. The goal is to "weed out" crime from targeted neighborhoods and then to "seed" the targeted sites with a wide range of crime and drug prevention programs and human service agency resources to prevent crime from reoccurring. It is unique in that it is an ongoing strategy requiring collaboration between residents, community leaders and activists, law enforcement, local government, service providers and community and faith-based organizations.
