Gifford Neighborhood Plan 2014 <br /> CRIME PREVENTION AND LAW ENFORCEMENT <br /> Crime Prevention Background Strategy: Reducing Gifford's crime rate is an important component in achieving the overall <br /> plan goal. Like most community issues, crime reduction requires coordinated action by various groups and agencies. While <br /> many of this plan's strategies including code enforcement, infrastructure improvements, and improved street lighting, may <br /> help reduce the crime rate, there is still a need for coordinated, targeted, and sustained crime-prevention actions. Those <br /> efforts will involve the Sheriffs Office maintaining its current level of resource commitment to the Gifford area, the County <br /> coordinating and continuing its code enforcement activities, and residents cooperating with law and code enforcement <br /> agencies. <br /> Objective 15.
