PB2011101700

Publication Date	2010
Page Count	93
Abstract	The Community Capacity Development Office (CCDO) recognizes the unique challenges that new Weed and Seed site coordinators (site coordinators) face as they struggle to implement the Weed and Seed strategy in both new and existing sites. The site coordinator is a full-time hands-on person working in the Weed and Seed neighborhood who becomes the link between residents of the neighborhood, the Safe Haven staff, law enforcement officials, and the sites Steering Committee. This individual often must make decisions that reflect the visions and goals of the site strategy and the community stakeholders as well as monitor the sites compliance with CCDO policies and overall grant program requirements. Operation Weed and Seed, administered by the Community Capacity Development Office (CCDO), Office of Justice Programs (OJP), U.S. Department of Justice, is a community-based initiative that encompasses an innovative and comprehensive multi-agency approach to law enforcement, crime prevention, and community revitalization.
