Paint Over Graffiti (P.O.G.)

The Paint Over Graffiti program is a service facilitated by Spokane C.O.P.S. when there is a need for covering up or removing graffiti at a location that is not getting removed by using the standard process.  The victim or property owner is asked to sign a release form that gives permission for a P.O.G. volunteer to cover the graffiti for them.  Then the graffiti volunteer contacts the P.O.G. Coordinator with the necessary information for the P.O.G. team to initiate the process for cover up or removal.

P.O.G. coordinates with other volunteer groups such as Juvenile Justice Court, citizen groups, Spokane Public Schools and local college internship programs to do the actual cover up and/or removal. 

C.O.P.S. volunteers may also assist P.O.G. on special projects if they receive training by the P.O.G. Coordinator.  P.O.G. does offer suggestions for cover up or removal.  However, for professional service, citizens are advised to contact their own contractor or service.

Reporting Graffiti and the P.O.G. Program

 

 

P.O.G. and its volunteers do NOT do restoration.  They do try to cover the graffiti with paint that does not stand out.  In some cases, victims should receive instructions and assistance from their insurance company.  P.O.G. training is available to interested volunteers, and is part of the standard graffiti training.
