CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Fifty law enforcement officers fanned out across neighborhoods on Cleveland's East Side Thursday in the first concentrated effort of the newly established initiative to combat crime and gun violence.

Dubbed V-GRIP --  http://blog.cleveland.com/metro/2011/10/cleveland_police_to_form_new_p.html -   http://blog.cleveland.com/metro/2011/10/officials_to_announce_new_prog.html - - Mayor Frank Jackson and others -   announced the multi-agency program Tuesday.

On Thursday, 25 two-person teams went door-to-door talking to residents in Cleveland's 4th Police District. Officials hope that if law enforcement officers canvass an entire neighborhood, residents will feel more comfortable providing information about criminal activity.
