Section 163.340(23) of the Act further provides a means for community redevelopment agencies to address crime through "community policing innovations" which is defined as "policing technique or strategy designed to reduce crime by reducing opportunities for, and increasing the perceived risks of engaging in, criminal activity through visible presence of police in the community, including, but not limited to, community mobilization, neighborhood block watch, citizen patrol, citizen contact patrol, foot patrol, neighborhood storefront police stations, field interrogation, or intensified motorized patrol." Section 2, Goal 6, on page 10 of the 2018 Southeast OvertownlPark West Community Updated Redevelopment Agency Plan (the "Updated Plan"), lists the "[ijmprove[ment of] the [q]uality of [1]ife for residents" as a stated redevelopment goal. Section 2, Goal 9, at page 10, further lists "[fJoster[ing] safe community initiatives to provide for public safety through Community Policing Innovations" as a stated redevelopment goal. The goal of the Program is to reduce and prevent crime within the Redevelopment Area, thereby enhancing the quality of life of its residents and encouraging growth and development in the area in accordance with the Plan.
