Law Enforcement
Weed & Seed neighborhoods benefit from an enhanced police presence, with substations centrally located in each neighborhood. Specially trained Weed & Seed officers are also assigned to these neighborhoods.
The officers are focused on:
- Reducing firearms offenses by youth offenders
- Decreasing the sale and abuse of illegal drugs
- Decreasing the number of minor offenses
- Implementing plans for apprehending and trying adult and juvenile violators
