Graffiti Prevention Patrol — Sacramento Storefronts & Walls
Sacramento's 10-day graffiti abatement clock (Sac City Code §8.04) makes tagging a recurring cost line. Stormhammer's documented overnight patrol presence resets the tag pattern within weeks and produces restitution-grade reports prosecutors actually use under CA PC §594.

Frequently asked — graffiti
Frequently asked questions
Can a security guard stop a tagger?+
A guard can document, photograph, and dispatch SPD on an active tag (PC §594) — including a citizen's arrest in their presence under PC §837 when policy permits. The bigger value is the deterrent: a marked vehicle that shows up unpredictably ends most repeat tagging.
Do your reports help with restitution?+
Yes. Restitution-grade reports include photo, timestamp, GPS, and witness statement — the standard Sacramento County DA's office uses for PC §594 prosecution and restitution recovery.
