The Drug Market Intervention (DMI) was pioneered in High Point, N.C., in 2004. The strategy brings together drug dealers, their families, law enforcement, social service providers and community leaders to eliminate open air street corner drug markets. Violent drug dealers are arrested and removed from the target neighborhood. Non-violent, first offenders are offered job placement and other needed social services to get out of the drug trade with immediate arrest and prosecution for those who return to drug dealing.

It is too bad they can't treat the drug problem like they do in the South Asia areas. If you are caught with drugs, the law will arrest you, and then you are shot. There is a sign as you come off the plane at the airport that says.. if you are caught with drugs, you will be shot.. hehe You can see, sometimes, who the dealers are. Just the other day I saw a newer Bentley driving down the street. A lot of the time, you will see really nice newer high end cars with super dark tinted windows.If you really want to clean up the city, get rid of these people. But I do applaud the police for trying something.
