Record, Report, Remove Graffiti Vandalism

Your actions can help reduce the spread of graffiti vandalism in Edmonton.

By following the 3Rs (Record, Report & Remove) to eliminate graffiti vandalism, you can become an effective partner in creating a safer, more welcoming Edmonton for everyone.

Record

If you have been victimized by graffiti vandalism you need to record it for evidence and insurance purposes. Take photos of the vandalized area and record when it occurred. The Police will require this information when you report it.

Report

• Graffiti In Progress
  If you see someone vandalizing a property with graffiti, call 911. Graffiti is a crime and Edmonton Police Services will respond.
• Property Owners
  If you are an owner of property that has been vandalized, report it to Edmonton Police Service Online Reporting or at your nearest Edmonton Police Service station. Call 311 to find out more about graffiti removal or about ways to participate in the City's Graffiti Management Program.
• Citizen Complaints
  All citizens are encouraged to call 311 (or 780-442-5311 if you live outside of Edmonton) to report any graffiti they see on public and private Edmonton property. Reporting graffiti vandalism makes the City aware of its location and begins the removal process.

Remove

Property owners who fail to remove graffiti within a reasonable time may be fined $250 (effective April 1, 2008) in accordance with Community Standards Bylaw 14600. It is important to send graffiti offenders the message that their vandalism will be removed promptly, thereby discouraging their return.
