You can help clean up our neighborhood, reduce crime, and demonstrate neighborhood pride.

There are proven links between graffiti and increased crime in a neighborhood. When graffiti and tagging appears and is not removed, often more crime and gang activity follows. It appears to criminals that residents don't care about their neighborhood and that makes it an easy target.

Addressing the tagging epidemic is just one way we can help improve the safety and livability in our neighborhood. Your involvment IS significant:

• Report the location of tags and graffiti when you see them, email bhnagraffiti@gmail.com
• Volunteer to clean up or paint over tags, we have clean-up kits available.
• Call 9-1-1 if you witness tagging in progress.
• Pay your voluntary annual membership dues http://www.bhna.org/programs/membership.
• Donate supplies to refill the clean-up kits.
• Get involved with our BHNA Block Watch program. Contact Angie at 705-3459 for details.
