Graffiti
GRAFFITI HOTLINE The following is condensed information about graffiti and graffiti prevention: Visit the Neighborhood Services website for further details.
The Graffiti Hotline program provides an easy opportunity for citizens, especially young people, to give police information about graffiti vandals and their activities, with a guarantee of anonymity and cash rewards as an incentive.
Call between 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM, Monday through Friday, to speak to an Officer. You may call at other times, but you will hear a recorded message.
To report graffiti:
Graffiti is costly and destructive, and it sends a message that the community is not concerned about the appearance of its neighborhoods. Graffiti is against the law.
Graffiti Busters crews remove graffiti reported through the hotline and also coordinate with other public and private agencies to remove graffiti. Graffiti Busters remove graffiti for free. However, a signed permission slip from the property owner or other responsive party is required.
Neighborhood groups or Block Watches listed with the Neighborhood Services Department can take back control of their neighborhoods by quickly removing graffiti. Prompt removal reduces the chance of graffiti reappearing and helps maintain a safe, secure and attractive environment. Community groups may receive paint and other supplies to improve their neighborhoods.
Call Graffiti Busters at 602-495-0323 to obtain supplies, sign up for the next training class, or to reserve tools for your next neighborhood cleanup.
NOTE TO RETAILERS: It is illegal for anyone under the age of 18 to purchase “vapor-releasing substances” such as spray paint. It is also illegal to sell such items to minors. For more information, call Graffiti Busters at 602-495-0323.
