Graffiti Tracker Put To Use In Montclair, CA
In what looks to be the only company profiting from southern California vandals, Graffiti Tracker has yet another contract in southern California. The city of Montclair, CA has spent some dough on graffiti abatement.
The City Council unanimously approved a one-year contract on Monday with a company that will study, analyze and help police reduce graffiti in the city.
The city hired Graffiti Tracker Inc. to supply police with GPS monitors to identify tagging in specific areas of the city.
Police Chief Chester Thompson said the GPS markers will help police direct enforcement toward areas where graffiti has increased or where gang rivalries are found.
“Graffiti is getting out of hand and getting costly,” said Councilwoman Carolyn Raft at Monday night’s meeting.
The council also approved spending $100,000 from a state grant to buy additional police equipment.
The expenditure from State Supplemental Law Enforcement Services Funds provides 12 mobile video recorders, a forensic evidence recovery tool and a mapping tool for the department.
