Join the Graffiti Watch Team Today!

Join Graffiti Watch and get the supplies and training needed to help fight graffiti
vandalism in your neighborhood.

Graffiti Watch is a partnership between the City and its residents to keep graffiti
off our streets and sidewalks for a safer and cleaner San Francisco. Graffiti Watch
empowers individuals or groups to take ownership of a heavily-tagged four-block 
area in their neighborhood and remove graffiti from public property such as utility
poles, mailboxes, trash receptacles and other street furniture. In return, DPW provides
training and tools.

Removing graffiti quickly, ideally within 24 hours, is key to the success of the
 Graffiti Watch Program. It s a proven fact that the faster graffiti tags are painted
over, the less likely it is that the vandals will return. Your vigilance can make
a difference in the appearance of your neighborhood and can discourage other criminal
behavior that graffiti attracts.
