Stopping graffiti at skateboard park

A new restroom at the skateboard park in Dinuba, CA was hit with graffiti inside and out. It cost $450 in material and labor to clean and repaint it. Then the taggers struck a second time during the same week, so the expense of cleanup totaled almost $1,000. Park Director Kristine Kaunzinger had a FlashCAM-880 installed at this location during the day when a lot of kids were at the park. They noticed that the kids were watching them closely and then the cell phones came out. A park employee overheard one kid reporting to someone on the other end of the phone that a camera was being installed. To date there has not been any more graffiti at the skateboard park. A second camera was installed at a public works building that was being closed. It was used to store old vehicles and some equipment. There had been several break-ins and damage at this out of the way facility. Since the FlashCAM-880 was installed there have not been any further incidents.
