The purpose of West Dallas Weed & Seed is to control violent crime, drug trafficking and drug related crime in designated areas and to provide a safe environment for residents, allowing those neighborhoods to grow and thrive.

The Weed and Seed strategy brings together Federal, State and Local crime fighting agencies, social service providers and representatives of the public and private sector, business owners and residents under a shared goal of weeding out crime and seeding in social services and economic revitalization.

Every Weed and Seed site uses a strategy that combines four specific components:

   1. Community Policing

   2. Law Enforcement

   3. Prevention, Intervention and Treatment

   4. Neighborhood Restoration
