Graffiti Eradication

Working together WITH the community Graffiti is a crime that if left neglected, can seriously damage the reputation of a community, and adversely affect the economy and quality of life enjoyed by the residents. Graffiti vandalism, or 'tagging', is any writing, drawing or symbol applied to any surface. Graffiti is considered one of the most costly and difficult types of vandalism to deal with effectively.

Volunteers with this program work in cooperation with New Westminster Police and New Westminster Bylaws. They provide education and resources to victims, and encourage merchants and residents to remove tagging and report problems to the police. Our volunteers do not clean graffiti, but do document and photograph graffiti vandalism in hopes of assisting police with information that will lead to an arrest.

Benefits of becoming a graffiti volunteer specialist:

  • Act as a liaison for the New Westminster Police and New Westminster City
  • Work with police and bylaw officers
  • Learn about city bylaws
  • Through education, become a specialist in graffiti eradication and removal strategies
