Police Working with the Public to Curb Vandalism
The Gananoque Police Services Board met on Friday and on their agenda once again was the issue of graffiti that can be seen all over the town.
In a meeting that took place last Friday, the Gananoque Police Services Board had the problem of vandalism in the town on the top of their agenda. Not surprisingly, this wasn’t the first time the problem was discussed.
To address the issue, the police service recently put up posters of the “tags” and street signatures used by local vandals. These posters were displayed for the public to see throughout the town, with police asking residents if they recognize any of the tags.
So far, the problem seems to have diminished after the posters were put up and the public was informed, with fewer graffiti reports coming in, this according to Gananoque Chief Kai Liu.
Aside from this measure, teachers in local schools have also been meeting more to share what they know and see if any of the tags are familiar. The primary suspects are speculated to be youths, so seeking them in schools just might work. Those selling spray paint have also been notified to request identification from customers who purchase them.
