In mid-July, Target announced their support for DCPD’s Graffiti Abatement Program by selecting our department to receive a $1,500 grant award to purchase a “Graffiti Sensor”, a device which detects the emission of an aerosol device (i.e. spray paint can) and alerts the Police Department via a text message system.

In 1990, Target established their Law Enforcement Grant Program which supports criminal justice agencies working to make communities safer. Because graffiti continues to be at the top of our list of quality of life issues, we thank Target for supporting and partnering with local Law Enforcement to assist us in our efforts to address this issue.
