State and local agencies are joining forces to battle graffiti blight in the area. The governments of Reno, Sparks, and Washoe County, together with the Washoe County School District and the Nevada Department of Transportation, have entered into an interlocal agreement to use Graffiti Tracker. The web-based service helps track taggers across jurisdictions, assisting with collecting evidence and identifying graffiti vandals.

Graffiti vandalism is a crime costing local taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. Learn more about reporting and discouraging graffiti at the City of Reno website and the Washoe County Sheriff's Office website. To report tagging in progress, call (775) 785-4629.
