2020 RI Senate race: on Drugs


Jack Reed: Weed and Seed: community policing & revitalize neighborhood

Funding will be awarded through the Weed and Seed program and will allow law enforcement officials in Pawtucket to focus on reducing drug-related crime in the Woodlawn neighborhood and reducing the incidences of overall crime in the community. The Weed and Seed site in the Woodlawn community received official recognition in August of 2003.

Four elements makeup Weed and Seed: law enforcement; community policing; prevention, intervention and treatment; and neighborhood restoration. Law enforcement activities constitute the "weed" portion of the program. Revitalization, which includes prevention, intervention, treatment services and neighborhood restoration constitute the "seed" element. Community policing serves as "bridge" to link the program elements together.

Prevention, intervention and treatment goals include providing safe havens and positive youth development. Neighborhood restoration goals include development of a comprehensive community strategies plan.
