What can I do about graffiti in the neighborhood?

If you are a victim of or see graffiti on any location, you should report it immediately so the process to have it removed can be done quickly. A phone call to the City Information and Complaint Office at 651-266-8989 will start this process. This office is the one stop place so there is no longer a need to call the police to report graffiti.

Your call will automatically put a series of events into effect. Message’s will be sent to the graffiti team at the Police Department who will document the complaint and to the graffiti removal crew who will clean up the graffiti as soon as possible.

If you want to talk to someone further about the graffiti, you can call the crime prevention graffiti experts at 651.266.5778.
