Odessa Police Department officials describe a holistic strategy combining Street Crimes Unit and Vice and Narcotics with Patrol and Traffic units to crack down on drug sales. They target high activity areas and pursue building code enforcement to raze abandoned homes fueling crime.
The Odessa police credit long term residents and local programs with reducing crack sales in the Flats. Federal nuisance abatement helped dismantle the area in the 1990s and cooperation with the DEA FBI and CrimeStoppers is highlighted. Officers rate success at 8.5 out of 10 while noting ongoing challenges and the social acceptance of drug use.
City officials focus on south Odessa where vacant homes were removed due to drug activity while builders push new Bunche Street homes. Realtors report mixed demand with prices around 25k to 45k. appraisers cite crime, property condition and growth as value determinants.
