LAPD TAGR PROGRAM

L.A. officials announce expansion of graffiti enforcement program

Los Angeles officials Friday announced the major expansion of a program that makes it easier to identify and arrest graffiti vandals.

 

The "Tracking and Automated Graffiti Removal System," a pilot program launched in 2009 in Van Nuys, equips city graffiti clean-up crews with smart phones to take pictures of graffiti, and then upload them into a database where police can use the information to track and arrest vandals.

 

"Graffiti blights neighborhoods, devalues property and has no place in our communities," Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa said. "By using smart phones to gather evidence, the LAPD will be able to track graffiti and apprehend the criminals who vandalize our city."

 

Information from the TAGRS database led to the arrest of 19 graffiti vandals in early February. The suspects were arrested throughout Los Angeles County, including in Lawndale, Hawthorne and unincorporated Lennox, for causing more than $200,000 in damages, according to the LAPD.

 

In the immediate future, TAGRS will expand to LAPD's Harbor, Hollenbeck and Central Divisions. The program is expected to be activated in all 21 divisions within one year.

 

"Graffiti continues to be a thorn in the side of the community. Folks are fed up down here," said Senior Lead Officer Joe Buscaino of the Harbor Division.

 

"This will be another tool that will allow investigators to follow up on, identify and track these vandals."

problem, Buscaino said. "If we don't document it, we don't have anything to follow up on."

 

The Van Nuys pilot program resulted in 15 arrests, associated with $68,000 worth of damage.

 

TAGRS originally started in Orange County and has expanded throughout Southern California. LAPD's database also has access to the Orange County database, allowing multiple organizations to coordinate efforts to catch criminals vandalizing in different districts.

 

"The systems can talk to each other and share information among law enforcement," said Anne Tremblay an assistant city attorney and supervisor of the anti-gang section. "We've had successful investigations, arrests and prosecutions based on information from the database."

 

The total cost of the program is $345,000 over two years. Currently, the city spends $10 million a year on graffiti removal.
