Evansville Police Unveil Plan to Crack Down on Graffiti

Chris, I have to tell you, you can get the best chemical removers around, the best people to remove it, and so on. But unless you take action to actually catch the vandals in the act and get them into the court system where some controls can be placed on them, you are not fixing the problem. In order to really make an impact in graffiti vandalism is to use the tools now available that alerts police to the crime in progress, and sends them photos of the suspects doing the vandalism, direct to their own cell phones. This allows police to know the crime is happening, and to respond and catch the vandals in the act, or use the photographic evidence on the phone to detain them if found in the area. Cities using this system are catching their prolific vandals daily. This is what needs to be done; otherwise the cost of graffiti removal just becomes a line item on a cities annual budget. Wasted billions of taxpayer dollars spent each year because cities will not use the tools that are proven to work. Thanks [censored] Campbell The Nograf Network Inc.
