Operation Weed and Seed...
A strategy within the U.S. Department of Justice's Office of Justice Programs that incorporates community-based initiatives. It is an innovative and comprehensive multi-agency approach to law enforcement, crime prevention, and community revitalization.

Operation Weed and Seed initiative "weeds out" undesirable elements such as violent crime, gang activity, drug use, and drug trafficking in a targeted area of the community. The program then "seeds" the area by restoring those neighborhoods through a variety of social and economic revitalization activities.
