Weed & Seed is a federal program through the U.S. Department
of Justice Community Capacity Development Office. The
Arlington Police Department has recently made application
with the U.S. DOJ seeking a Weed & Seed designation status.
In order to apply, we have brought together a diverse group
representing local government, social service, faith
communities and area residents to form a Steering Committee.
Our goal is to work together to reduce crime, address the
challenges affecting our residents and the physical
deterioration of structures in the community.
Weed and Seed is a strategy that has four components:
Law Enforcement
Community Policing
Prevention, Intervention & Treatment
Neighborhood Restoration
