THE BEST SOLUTION FOR GRAFFITI ON PRIVATE PROPERTY: GRAFFITI ORDINANCES THAT WORK

It is absolutely critical that you have city-friendly graffiti ordinances in place so graffiti vandals will face appropriate consequences for their actions and to ensure that your city is dealing appropriately with graffiti on private property.

LET'S WORK TOGETHER: HOW TO BUILD A SUCCESSFUL ANTI-GRAFFITI COLLABORATIVE PARTNERSHIP

There are many governmental and private jurisdictions in your area that have some graffiti responsibilities.  When agencies work together and are coordinated, it can help your battle against graffiti.

LET'S STOP IT BEFORE IT STARTS: GRAFFITI PREVENTION AND ALTERNATIVES

To prevent graffiti vandalism, it is necessary to understand why people vandalize in the first place.  We also need to explore what alternatives to graffiti exist and how to implement inexpensive alternatives.

GETTING GRAFFITI VANDALS TO STOP: HOW TO ESTABLISH AN EFFECTIVE "PACKAGE OF PENALTIES"

For graffiti vandals to actually stop their destructive behavior, two things need to happen.  First they need to get caught, and second, the consequences need to be at a level that is appropriate so they don’t want to get caught again.  This session will show you how to make that happen.

TIPS AND TRICKS FOR CATCHING GRAFFITI VANDALS

The primary focus of this session is for law enforcement personnel to learn proven investigative techniques for graffiti cases that will culminate in the successful arrest of graffiti vandals.

The Second Day (May 10, 9:00am-5:00pm)

Day two will cover:

JUST HOW BAD IS IT ANYWAY? HOW TO CONDUCT A CITYWIDE GRAFFITI SURVEY

    The only way to know if you are making inroads in your battle with the taggers is to conduct an annual citywide graffiti survey.  This session lays out the whole process for you to conduct a successful survey from beginning to end.

HOW TO RECRUIT A GRAFFITI FIGHTING ARMY

       All cities are trying to get the biggest bang for their buck, and that is exactly what recruiting hundreds of graffiti volunteers will do.  It is very possible to have an army of volunteers removing graffiti in your city.

STATE OF THE ART GRAFFITI ABATEMENT STRATEGIES FOR SUCCESS

            Money is tight in every city these days. This makes it more important than ever to implement a successful graffiti abatement strategy with your limited resources.

SAVE MONEY IN YOUR GRAFFITI PROGRAM: WHAT NOT TO DO

           You can save tens of thousands of dollars by just knowing what not to do.  In many cases it is as important to know what not to do as it is to know what to do.  Cities waste an incredible amount of money each year on ineffective anti-graffiti efforts.
