Phoenix Graffiti Busters

Graffiti is costly and destructive, and sends a message that the community is not concerned about the appearance of its neighborhoods. You can take control of your neighborhood by quickly removing graffiti. Prompt removal reduces the chance of graffiti reappearing and helps maintain a safe, secure and attractive environment.

Graffiti is a crime – to report graffiti vandalism in progress, call 9-1-1.

To report graffiti that you want to see removed, call the Graffiti Busters 24-Hour Removal Hotline at 602-495-7014 or email graffitibusters.nsd@phoenix.gov. You also can report graffiti using a free application on your iPhone or Android smartphone (myPhxAZ).

The Phoenix Police Department also has a special graffiti hotline.

If you believe you can provide information leading to the arrest of a graffiti vandal, call 602-262-7327 to make a report. You don't have to give your name or any other identification, and you could receive an award up to $250. For more information on this program visit the Police Graffiti Hotline site.
