The department operates a Graffiti Hotline to
enable the public to report graffiti on both
public and private property. The Community
Affairs Division (CAD) monitors the hotline
and disseminates information from it to the
district patrol commands for action.

should be removed and offer suggestions to help accomplish the removal; and
