Why is graffiti removal important to the community? 

Graffiti removal is not just a clean up project. It is indicative of a blight problem and can be indicative of other illegal activity in the area. Graffiti is not about causing damage but rather recognition. The graffiti artist or "tagger" makes his/her mark on a surface in order to get the recognition and admiration of his/her peers. Only the prompt removal of "tags" has been found to be a successful means of reducing the number of graffiti incidents in a community. T.A.G. was formed for the purpose of removing graffiti quickly from buildings, thus improving the quality of life in our community.
