A new business comes to your town. Good news for the community and the city.
The new business leases a building just off main street. They paint and renovate it inside and out and get ready to open. Opening day the owners come to the store early and… see it before they even park. Someone has left a bunch of graffiti on the front and side of the store. Welcome to town.
After rushing to the hardware store for something to quickly cover up the damage, rush to get the store to look as good as they can in a hurry and try to begin their first day in business. Of course, the store owners are very upset and talk to the police, other stores in the area, and the city.
The store owners are thinking that the city has a program for fighting this problem and expect some answers.
There are answers aren’t there? There are effective programs in place right? At least there is an awareness of the “artist” and work done on “containing” the damage that’s being done in the community, right?
This website is designed to assist the small (and large) business owner in learning about how to combat graffiti and keep there space graffiti free.
Reduction – The most important part of handling the graffiti problem is to reduce it but taking the proper steps to fight graffiti and win.
Investigation -To get a real idea of the scope of the problem, investigation of who, what, where, and when is key.
Prosecution -It’s the method of justice and restitution and lets everyone know that the criminals will be brought to justice and dealt with.
