Weed and Seed Program

Weed and Seed is a multi-agency strategy that seeks to "weed" out violent crime, gang activity, drug use and drug trafficking. This program seeks to "seed" the area by restoring neighborhoods through social and economic revitalization.

Weed and Seed is a community driven strategy by a steering committee, which produces an implementation plan along the lines set forth in the Weed and Seed Implementation Manual. The steering committee is divided into four subcommittees which include;

  • Law Enforcement as the "weed" portion of the strategy
  • Community Orientated Policing is the bridge that links the weed and seed portions
  • Prevention, Intervention and Treatment
  • Neighborhood Restoration, all of which represent the "seed" portion of the strategy

For more information on the Weed and Seed Program, please contact the local site coordinator Patty Cadwell or (406) 455-8496. To see if your residence or business falls in the Great Falls Weed and Seed District, please look on the attached map. Text description of area
