Graffiti Tracker stores and analyzes digital pictures of graffiti to enable law enforcement to apprehend and ultimately prosecute vandals. These additional five cities join 20 other cities across the country using Graffiti Tracker technology.
Along with the new cities coming on board, Graffiti Tracker today also announced a 100 percent retention rate in existing cities renewing their Graffiti Tracker contracts.
One city successfully using Graffiti Tracker is Pico Rivera, CA, which recently received restitution of over $21,000 from two vandals apprehended with the aid of the Graffiti Tracker system.
"Pico Rivera purchased Graffiti Tracker for $18,000 and in less than six months we more than covered the cost with court-ordered restitution received from the vandals we nabbed," said Bob Spencer, Senior Public Information Manager of Pico Rivera.
Another California city using Graffiti Tracker is Alhambra where recently a juvenile was arrested for vandalizing over 116 different locations.
"With Graffiti Tracker, law enforcement keeps track of who's doing the damage in the community and -- as an added bonus -- now shares that data with other agencies," said Timothy Kephart, president of Graffiti Tracker Inc. "Once you're in the Graffiti Tracker system, police can track and catch you regardless of where you strike next."
