What It Is
The Weed and Seed Program is a joint
federal and local partnership for coordinated law enforcement
and neighborhood reinvestment. The initiative is
administered federally through the Office of Justice Programs
and Executive Office for Weed and Seed and locally through the
Los Angeles Police Department.
The "weeding" involves all
levels of the criminal justice system in removing current
criminal activities. The "seeding" supports that
process by exposing the targeted communities to positive
influences and offers them an opportunity to organize themselves
around access to available resources from many different
institutional investors and donors.
What It Is Not
Weed and Seed is not merely a
"program", but a comprehensive strategy for public
safety and reinvestment. Click
