Operation Weed and Seed is a U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) initiative designed to reclaim,

community with services that support neighborhood revitalization. Currently, there are over 300
sites throughout the United States.

active involvement of residents, businesses and law enforcement. The "seed" component depends on
the involvement of these same parties, along with a variety of other public and private agencies.
The DOJ competitively awards recognition for a five-year period to communities that meet its
selection criteria and that develop a community-based strategic plan. For more information on
