4038 - STRATEGIES FOR PREVENTION OF GRAFFITI IN THE WALLSEND ELECTORATE

Hornery, Sonia to the Deputy Premier, Minister for Justice and Police, Minister for the Arts, and Minister for Racing

What strategies are in place to reduce and prevent graffiti attacks in Wallsend?

Answer -

Police in the Newcastle City Local Area Command, which includes Wallsend, are tasked to conduct high visibility patrols of hotspot areas in the Command. If a spike or trend is identified, further resources may be deployed into the affected area. Police attempt to identify offenders by matching graffiti tags to previous offences recorded on police systems. If there are any leads or suspects identified, a case is created and allocated to an officer for further investigation.
