              Taggers Leaving Mark on O.C. Consciousness : Graffiti:

               BY DAVID A. AVILAMAY 16, 1993 12 AM PTTIMES STAFF WRITER. THIS ARTICLE WAS WRITTEN BY TIMES STAFF WRITER DAVID A. AVILA AND CORRESPONDENTS GEOFF BOUCHER, SHELBY GRAD AND TERRY SPENCERORANGE — 

              Squinting into the morning sun, Chris Acosta carefully dipped his roller-brush into the smooth, white paint and surveyed the colorful scrawls scarring the school wall before him.

              At one time, the wall might have been a tempting target for the 20-year-old convicted graffiti vandal. Now, painting it back to its original state is part of his penance--he is working off 500 hours of community service ordered by a judge.

              The Anaheim man’s punishment is an example of how Orange County officials have begun to crack down on graffiti and the spray-painters known as taggers who increasingly are defacing the area’s freeway signs, bus windows, storefront walls and homes.

              Tagging has been rising steadily in recent years, but law enforcement agencies say it exploded in Southern California during December. The National Graffiti Information Network, a Utah-based clearinghouse for municipal agencies, says the number of reported tagging incidents and requests for its cleanup tripled in the month of December. 

              To Orange County residents who once thought that tagging was a plague afflicting only the urban megalopolis to the north, the sudden spread of vandalism here has come as a shock.

              Israel Garrigo, who owns a restaurant on Harbor Boulevard in Anaheim, says he has to paint over graffiti as often as once a week.

              “I can’t afford to let it stay up because it hurts my business,” said Garrigo, 37. “It doesn’t look good.”

              In Garden Grove, residents are angry that a billboard announcing a $25,000 reward for information about the murder of Police Officer Howard E. Dallies Jr. has been vandalized with graffiti.

              Police and elected officials are frustrated, also. So exasperated was Anaheim Mayor Tom Daly that he recently mused at a meeting, “Maybe it’s time to bring back the public stockades.”

              Most fearful are homeowners and business people struggling to protect their neighborhoods and their investments from the physical and psychological toll of graffiti.

              Anxious over tagging’s spread, though uncertain of how exactly to stop it, city councils, police agencies, businesses and homeowners across the county, from La Habra to Laguna Hills, are trying to fight back:

              * Thirteen Orange County cities have approved tough new anti-tagging ordinances. A new Westminster law would suspend convicted taggers’ driving privileges and make their parents liable for cleanup costs. A bill offered by state Sen. John R. Lewis (R-Orange) would allow judges to force taggers and their parents to perform 40 hours of cleanup work or face a $1,000 fine. Lewis’ bill passed the Judiciary Committee and will go to the Appropriations Committee.

              * Nearly a dozen cities have posted rewards as high as $1,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of taggers, while the California Highway Patrol and other agencies have formed special anti-graffiti squads.

              * The cost of cleaning up graffiti this year is expected to rise dramatically from the $1.7 million that Orange County cities spent last year. Officials--already struggling to balance budgets that have been strained by the recession--predict that costs will soar by 41%, to $2.5 million.

              * In February, the County Board of Supervisors formed a special tagging task force made up of officials from the Sheriff’s Department, district attorney’s office, Orange County Juvenile Court, the Department of Education and the Probation Department. The task force, headed by Supervisor Gaddi H. Vasquez, is expected to create a comprehensive program to deal with graffiti.

              Cost of removing graffiti is rising in Tustin

              Jose Morales, who works for a private graffiti removal company

               

              TUSTIN – Driving around south Tustin, it’s not always easy to spot the graffiti on curbs, sidewalks and walls of apartment buildings, but Tustin police officer Cheryl Bradley sees each scrawl.

              She has spent about three years with the department and is one of its best at finding graffiti, in between dusting for fingerprints and photographing crime scenes. Graffiti in the city is usually cleaned up within a week, she said. But over the past five years, the cost has risen.

              When Bradley spots graffiti, she marks it with a dot of green spray paint, takes a photo and notes the location for police files. She finds about five instances of tagging each day in south Tustin.

              http://www.pollmonkey.com/s.asp?c=53719538&u=2111056590 DisplayVote56590();

              Last year, the cleanup of 3,342 instances of graffiti cost Tustin $174,260. The year before, it cost $172,900 for 3,502 incidents. Since 2003-2004, the cost of cleanup has risen $174,434.

              The city had 102 reports of vandalism in January, a majority of which are graffiti, said police Lt. Charlie Celano. About 85 percent of vandalism reports are graffiti-related, he said.

              Gang graffiti is usually in Old English style and is the name of a gang or nicknames of the members, according to the Police Department Web site. Gangs communicate by writing on public and private property. If one gang crosses out another gang’s graffiti, it’s a sign of disrespect and the reaction generally includes violence, the Web site says.

              Tustin’s graffiti mostly comes from tagging crews, not gangs. The style of writing is the same, and the names are those of the tagging crew and its members. But, police say, taggers can easily become involved in gang violence by tagging in gang areas, and can be recruited into gangs. And when a tagging crew decides to retaliate against gang violence, the group becomes a gang, police say.

              Officers in Santa Ana use GPS cameras to take photos of graffiti around the city, and upload the images and location into a database called Graffiti Tracker, said Mona Ruiz of the Santa Ana Police Department’s graffiti task force. Then, the city’s public works department removes the graffiti.

              Graffiti in Santa Ana is seasonal, she said, and there’s more graffiti when students are on breaks from school, such as during winter break or summer break. Tagging also increases when a new crew arrives in town. But the city removes graffiti within 48 hours of it being reported.

              First-time offenders usually get community service, generally from six months to one year, and the child’s parents are liable for restitution. The city also has a task force that’s been active since 1993. Most of the taggers come from Santa Ana, she said.

              “If you see someone tagging, absolutely do not confront the person,” Ruiz said. Instead, note as much detail as possible about the tagger, and call 911 to report the crime in progress. Residents who find graffiti around the city are asked to call the police department. An officer will then photograph and add the graffiti to a database.

              “There have been incidents that resulted in violence where citizens confronted taggers,” she said. “They may be tagging in an area claimed by a gang so they arm themselves to protect themselves.”
