Leave your name, address, daytime phone number, and the exact location of graffiti on your property. After we have your written consent to remove graffiti from the property, a licensed painting contractor or volunteers will remove the graffiti within about two weeks. Every effort will be made to match colors, but the cleaned, processed, or coated area may not match precisely.

Free Paint Program for property owners choosing to remove the graffiti themselves; a Graffiti Removal Program: professional Paint Contractor for perfect paint match; misdemeanor offenders performing community service by removing graffiti; Graffiti Prevention Landscape Program with anti graffiti-deterrent vines and shrubs for walls and fences attractive to graffiti vandals; and a Graffiti Hotline for citizens to report “graffiti sightings” or request free paint.

DLBA is encouraging businesses and property owners to sign up for the No Trespassing Program, which authorizes patrol officers to engage trespassers on private property (parking lots, patios, parklets) without the presence of an owner or property representative on site and to effect an arrest upon their refusal to leave or upon return. This authorization is particularly important during the graveyard shift when it is unlikely that an owner or property representative can be reached. 

Click here to read the steps required to participate in the program and to download associated documents. 

To participate, business/property owners must take the following steps: 

1. Purchase and post Penal Code 602 No Trespassing signs, which are available at Ace Hardware located at 4th Street and Olive Avenue in Downtown. Post signs in a visible location where they cannot be torn down. 

2. Download and sign this form allowing LBPD to make a private person’s arrest on their behalf. 

3. Send the completed form to LBPD South Division Community Outreach Liaison, Jericho Balderian, at [email protected] along with confirmation that the signs have been installed.

LBPD will visit the business to take pictures confirming signage for their files. A business or property will be entered into LBPD South Division’s database for patrol officers to access in the field. LBPD South Division will keep the form on file for one year. However, owners are encouraged to continue notifying LBPD (via 911 or 562-435-6711) of any trespassing and/or vandalism not observed by LBPD at the time and include whether there is video. Should owners have any technical questions about the No Trespassing Program or signage, please do not hesitate to contact Balderian at [email protected] or 562-570- 7578. And as always, owners with any questions about DLBA’s Clean and Safe program may contact DLBA COO, Broc Coward, at [email protected] or (562) 485-1080.
