Graffiti Tracker offers graffiti tracking and analysis services for cities across the United States and Canada. Graffiti Tracker clients use GPS-enabled cameras to capture images of graffiti vandalism prior to removal and then upload the images to our web-based system for analysis. Police departments use the data to assist them in catching and prosecuting vandals, which leads to a reduction in overall graffiti and increased recovery of restitution by the cities. The Graffiti Tracker system offers interactive mapping capabilities, generates reports for police departments and district attorney's offices and links known graffiti vandals to multiple incidents.
