Graffiti Abatement Incidents

<font size='3'>The Public Works Department operates a robust graffiti abatement program. Its strategic approach includes proactive abatement through directed patrols across the City. This “enterprise” approach strengthens the City’s commitment to prevention by aggressively removing graffiti in order to communicate that a clean city is valued. </font><div><font size='3'><br /></font></div><div><font size='3'>This metric discourages repeat behavior. “Hot spot” areas frequently targeted by graffiti vandals are patrolled regularly with the overall goal of removing graffiti as soon as possible. In addition, the approach to data gathering and measuring has improved exponentially through the use of Tempe’s emerging Enterprise GIS system.</font></div><div><font size='3'><br /></font></div><div><div><div><font size='3'>Contact: Sue Taaffe</font></div><div><font size='3'><br /></font></div><div><font size='3'>Contact E-Mail: [e-mail]</font></div><div><font size='3'><br /></font></div><div><font size='3'>Contact Phone: [phone]</font></div></div><div><font size='3'><br /></font></div><div><font size='3'>Link: </font><a href='https://www.tempe.gov/city-hall/public-works/transportation/streets-traffic-ops' target='_blank' rel='nofollow ugc noopener noreferrer'>https://www.tempe.gov/city-hall/public-works/transportation/streets-traffic-ops</a></div><div><font size='3'><br /></font></div><div><font size='3'>Data Source Type: Geospatial</font></div></div>
