"Each year as part of Operation Spring Cleaning, Chicago Police officers step up patrols in specific areas with the help of state, county and federal law enforcement agencies to bust drug dealers and gang members. Around the same time, CAPS, the city's community policing program, usually kicks off a separate project called Operation Clean, which deploys a variety of city crews each week to remove graffiti, repair potholes and otherwise improve the infrastructure of high-crime neighborhoods.
Despite their similar goals, this is one of the first times the two initiatives have been executed simultaneously, CAPS director Vance Henry said Saturday.
'It's a tremendous one-two punch for addressing the concerns expressed by residents of these communities,' Henry said. 'In no way can the police or the city resolve these issues by themselves.'"
