See graffiti? Call the BPD hotline!
By Associated Press
BOISE (AP) - Boise has a new graffiti hotline.
Police in Idaho's capital city say they're hoping the non-emergency number — 377-6790 — will encourage citizens to alert authorities more quickly, helping speed the removal of unsightly vandalism that's sometimes affiliated with gang activity. As part of the program, Boise Police dispatchers will send community specialists, not sworn officers, to take the graffiti report, including photographs. Property owners will be given a brochure with information on how to remove graffiti, and the importance of quick removal. In addition, the specialists will help enter graffiti reports daily into a crime analysis data system for immediate access by criminal investigators looking for perpetrators. |
