At the close of the CCP grant, many CCP programs have been sustained; community policing is continuing to be implemented in the Seattle Police Department and the city's neighborhoods; and many Seattle departments and agencies are working together on crime-related problems through comprehensive approaches. Safe Futures grant funding from the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention has fueled the development of a comprehensive strategy for juvenile justice in Seattle/King County. The HUD Safe Neighborhoods program is bringing community policing to drug-affected low-income housing downtown. Seattle's Weed and Seed strategy, along with all of its collaborations, are being expanded into the South Precinct; and a proposal to expand citywide is under development. Seattle's City Attorney is reorganizing to support community prosecution; and the City Attorney, Municipal Court, and Police Department are collaborating on problem-solving as never before, including an information technology integration plan. The State Department of Corrections has launched a Neighborhood Corrections Initiative pilot project in collaboration with the Police Department to provide swift and certain sanctions to repeat felony offenders who use downtown Seattle as their meeting ground. A grant from the COPS Office is funding continuing efforts to restructure the Police Department to support community policing and problem-solving, as well as facilitate communications and information-sharing with other police departments around the country.
