Agenda
- DAY 1 -
The First "Five Steps to a Graffiti-Free City"
- Just How Bad Is It Anyway? How To Conduct A Citywide Graffiti Survey - The only way to really know if you are making inroads in your battle with the taggers is to conduct an annual citywide graffiti survey. This session lays out the whole process for you to conduct a successful survey from beginning to end.
- How To Recruit A Volunteer Graffiti Fighting Army - All cities are trying to get the biggest bang for their buck, and that is exactly what recruiting hundreds of graffiti volunteers will do. It is very possible to have an army of volunteers removing graffiti in your neighborhoods.
- The Best Solution For Graffiti On Private Property: Graffiti Ordinances That Work - It is absolutely critical that you have city-friendly graffiti ordinances in place so graffiti vandals will face appropriate consequences for their actions and to ensure that your city is dealing appropriately with graffiti on private property.
- Getting Graffiti Vandals To Stop: How To Establish An Effective "Package Of Penalties" - In order for graffiti vandals to actually stop their destructive behavior, two things need to happen. First they need to get caught, and second, the consequences need to be at a level that is appropriate so they don't want to get caught again. This session will show you how to make that happen.
- Tips And Tricks For Catching Graffiti Vandals - The primary focus of this session is for law enforcement personnel to learn proven investigative techniques for graffiti cases that will culminate in the successful arrest of graffiti vandals.
- DAY 2 -
Three Game-Changing Meetings
- Anti-Graffiti Collaborative Partnership Meeting - Don’t keep your effort a secret. It’s time to let your future graffiti partners know what you are doing and commit to the effort. This meeting will be short on formal speeches (just a quick overview of your plans) and long on socialization. The social should include a free continental breakfast. The bottom line is that you want all of these new partners to commit to appoint two representatives per organization to join your new graffiti technical advisory team that will meet monthly to discuss common graffiti related problems and solutions.
- Anti-Graffiti Press Conference - The local policy makers will endorse your new anti-graffiti effort at this press conference. They will also pledge their commitment to its success. This is also the best way to publicize other anti-graffiti activities that you will be kicking off during this week.
- Neighborhood Leaders' Meeting - Your city staff will get to see The Graffiti Consultants in action, first hand at a volunteer leaders training made up of community leaders throughout the city. The Graffiti Consultants will encourage them to volunteer to keep their neighborhood clean and above all . . . sign up their group for a future training so city staff can train and recruit their members. Staff will see how The Graffiti Consultants tie all of the lessons that were shared at the training the day before into one smooth presentation that is practically fool proof. After receiving our training and observing the practicum, city staff will be fully armed with everything you need to recruit the army of volunteers you need to win your war on graffiti. The service time these volunteers will contribute to your city will become a treasured municipal asset. Imagine . . . just 100 volunteers who help your city and themselves by removing graffiti just two hours a week for 50 weeks a year; if they removed just five tags per hour – that is 50,000 tags removed per year, and if their time is worth just $15.00 per hour that is $150,000 worth of service time being donated to your city.
- DAY 3 -
The Second "Five Steps To A Graffiti-Free City"
- State Of The Art Graffiti Abatement Strategies For Success - Money is tight in every city these days. This makes it more important than ever to get all you can out of your graffiti abatement resources.
- Save Money In Your Graffiti Program: What Not To Do - You can save tens of thousands of dollars by just knowing what not to do. In many cases it is as important to know what not to do as it is to know what to do. Cities waste an incredible amount of money each year on ineffective anti-graffiti efforts.
- Let's Work Together: How To Build A Successful Anti-Graffiti Collaborative Partnership - There are many governmental and private jurisdictions in your area that have some graffiti responsibilities. When agencies work together and are coordinated, it can really help your battle against graffiti.
- Let's Stop It Before It Starts: Graffiti Prevention And Alternatives - In order to prevent graffiti vandalism, it is necessary to understand why people vandalize in the first place. We also need to explore what alternatives to graffiti exist and how to implement inexpensive alternatives.
- Treasure Chest Of Graffiti Related Topics - This treasure chest of graffiti related topics are not necessarily connected except by the fact that they all are important and have not been covered in any of the other steps.
Added Value??
All cities that book a Graffiti Summit will also receive:
- Two complete sets of the "Ten Steps To A Graffiti-Free City" guidebooks which includes:
