Schiff believes that enforcement of the law must go hand in hand with prevention. In the 111th Congress, he introduced the Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) and Key Investments in Developmental Services (KIDS) Act. The COPS and KIDS Act would invest in proven programs to keep kids out of trouble and in school, while supporting community-level policing that puts cops on the streets in our neighborhoods. Schiff believes that an effective strategy against crime has to recognize the importance of supporting programs to help at-risk young people stay out of gangs and out of trouble. The bill would also fund programs to help juvenile offenders turn their lives around by providing counseling, substance abuse treatment, and educational service
