Operation Weed and Seed...
A strategy within the U.S. Department of Justice's Office of Justice Programs that incorporates community-based initiatives. It is an innovative and comprehensive multi-agency approach to law enforcement, crime prevention, and community revitalization.

Operation Weed and Seed initiative “weeds out” undesirable elements such as violent crime, gang activity, drug use, and drug trafficking in a targeted area of the community. The program then “seeds” the area by restoring those neighborhoods through a variety of social and economic revitalization activities.

Reports and data on police stops in Oregon.

In 1997, the Oregon Legislature had adopted House Bill 243. Section 6 of that bill required law enforcement agencies to collect data, adopt policies prohibiting the “stopping, detention and search of persons under ORS 810.410 when the action is motivated by the officer's perception of the person's race, color, sex or national origin and when the action would constitute a violation of the person's civil rights.” The legislation also required that “a process be implemented within the agency to: ... facilitate the reporting of complaints” and to “receive and review complaints by persons who believe they have been stopped, detained or searched in violation of the agency's policy.” Summaries of those complaints were compiled by the Asset Forfeiture Oversight Advisory Committee (AFOAC). After the initial reporting period, that effort was continued on a voluntary basis for two years, but then discontinued in favor of the traffic stop data collection effort under SB 415.
