Abstract:
|
Operation Weed and Seed, which is administered by the U.S.
Justice Department's Executive Office for Weed and Seed (EOWS),
is a community-based strategy that aims to prevent, control, and
reduce violent crime, drug abuse, and gang activity in designated
high-crime neighborhoods across the country. The site coordinator
must often make decisions that reflect the visions and goals of
the site strategy and the community stakeholders, as well as
monitor the site's compliance with EOWS policies and overall
grant requirements. The knowledge areas addressed in this
training manual are roles and responsibilities, collaborations
and relationship with partners, strategy development and
implementation, sustainability, technology, and programmatic and
financial requirements. The overall goal of this training is to
provide site coordinators with an understanding of the broad
range of responsibilities they must fulfill in facilitating the
implementation of the Weed-and-Seed strategy. Each training
section presents the objectives of that section, along with the
personal attributes and skills needed by the site coordinator to
perform the tasks discussed. The manual contains a list of
experienced site coordinators who can be contacted for advice.
Appended sample position descriptions, sample operational
policies and procedures, a grant administration manual, Office of
Comptroller contact information, and instructions on how to
obtain technical assistance from EOWS |
