Reno PD is providing free graffiti cleanup kits for Reno residents. The kits include T.S.W. Graphite Remover, goggles, gloves, cleaning pad and instructions. In addition, citizens can help by reporting graffiti vandalism to RenoDirect at (775) 334-INFO. You can provide anonymous tips through the Secret Witness program by calling (775) 322-4900. Rewards of $250 to $1000 are available to those reporting information that leads to successful prosecution of graffiti crimes.

Graffiti vandalism costs 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, or use the Reno PD Online Reporting System.

April 22, 2008 at 1:26 pm (2) Stan, Reno / Tahoe Guide :: I called Sparks public works and they do not have graffiti removal kits for citizens like Reno. The lady cited budget constraints. For graffiti removal on public property in Sparks, call (775) 353-2271 or (775) 353-2342.
