The recent acts of graffiti vandalism that have been reported are of great concern to the City of Paris and Paris Police Department. Spray painting public and private property without permission is an act of vandalism that hurts everyone; including businesses, homeowners, schools, and cities, and can put you behind bars!

Research shows graffiti:

Contributes to lost revenue associated with reduced retail sales, and declines in property value.
Results in more graffiti, vandalism, and crime.
Increases public fears about safety in their community.

The City of Paris will work with schools, businesses, and community groups to help keep our city clean and free of graffiti. Research shows that removing graffiti within 48 hours is one of the most effective ways to deter graffiti, because it sends a message that graffiti vandalism will not be tolerated.

Please join with The City of Paris to stop graffiti vandalism. To learn more about the high cost of graffiti, visit www.graffitihurts.org.
