What Graffiti Means To A Community

Graffiti is more than just words or symbols sprayed on a wall. Graffiti is an act of vandalism that costs hundreds of thousands of dollars to remove or cover every year. Every dollar spent on graffiti removal is a dollar that could be used on other badly needed programs.

If not immediately removed, graffiti sends out a message that "nobody cares" about the area. It also causes the area to look unsafe and makes people concerned about their personal safety. This creates an open invitation for more littering, loitering and other graffiti. Unfortunately, it may also lead to an increase in other crimes and acts of violence. Areas filled with graffiti are less appealing to those who may be looking to buy or rent property. Property becomes more difficult to sell and values are reduced.

Graffiti, done without the owner’s permission is not "art", it's a CRIME!

Take Action To Prevent Graffiti & Vandalism

Property owners should have the graffiti removed on their property within 24 hours after it appears. This will prevent the offender from receiving the fame and recognition they desire when other taggers see their "tag" and reduce the likelihood that it will spread.
