Anti-graffiti reward program kicks off

By The Porterville Recorder

In a cooperative effort to combat graffiti in Porterville, the city and the chamber of commerce have implemented the Anti-Graffiti Reward Program.

According to Porterville Chief of Police Silver Rodriguez, two local residents have already provided police with valuable information, resulting in the arrest and conviction of graffiti vandalism suspects. Each party received a $100 reward for their assistance.

The goal of the program is to encourage people to get involved in the fight against graffiti vandalism by reporting these acts when observed and/or providing information that is likely to result in the identification, apprehension and conviction of criminal suspects.

Anyone wishing to provide information can contact the Anti-Graffiti Reward Program at 791-7844. To report graffiti for removal, contact the Graffiti Hotline at 784-1399.
