There has been a significant increase in taggings throughout Olympia recently, and our neighborhood is no exception. While this page is still under construction, here are 2 ways to help:

** Call the Graffiti Reporting Hotline at 570-3737
The goal of this hotline is to encourage the public to report graffiti in a way that facilitates removal and gathers information that can help identify trends. Police volunteers will monitor the message line and respond to document and photograph the graffiti. Referrals will be made to the property owner requesting removal. In the message, include the physical location and description of the graffiti. Contact information is encouraged but not required. Any reporting party wishing to make an official police report should call the non-emergency dispatch line 704.2740. As always, call 9-1-1 if you witness a crime in progress.

**Email  Mike Dexel at nenapresident@gmail.com. He will work with a team of NENA volunteers to help remove graffiti. The team is not permitted to remove graffiti from the fronts of street signs (stop signs, pedestrian crossing signs and other reflective signs) but will forward these reported tags to Public Works.

Thank you for your concern.
