Working Together to Clean Up Graffiti
The City of Sacramento is taking
action to wipe out graffiti and clean
up crime. The Department of General Services,
Neighborhood Services and Police Departments
are working together to manage a first-rate
Graffiti Abatement Program. The City
is working to keep its neighborhoods
clean and attractive through various
activities including graffiti removal
programs, educational outreach, community
involvement and police enforcement.
How You Can Help
Residents, neighborhood associations
and business owners throughout Sacramento
have joined efforts with the City to
help prevent and clean up graffiti.
These volunteers understand that prompt
removal of graffiti reduces the chance
of reoccurrence.
Learn about other organized community involvement programs such
as Adopt a Site and the Record-Report-Remove procedure. For further
information, call (916) 808-6255.
It's Out of Sight with Adopt a Site
Many citizens have adopted a public
site near their home or business and
routinely clean off graffiti when it
appears at their adopted location.
Since neighbors are the first to see
graffiti and can remove it immediately,
this program is the most effective
way to clean up graffiti. The City
of Sacramento helps these volunteers
by providing training on proper removal
techniques and supplying paint and
removal products.
If you are interested in adopting a local bus shelter, retaining
wall, overpass or other public site,
please contact Maintenance Services
customer assistance at (916) 808-1888.
If you see a vandalism crime in progress, immediately call and report
it to the Sacramento Police Department at (916) 264-5151. Remember
to be as descriptive as possible about the people and vehicles involved,
including the license plate number.
If you plan to remove graffiti yourself, use the Recording,
Reporting and Removing method.
