Authorities Use GPS To Fight Graffiti Police in Pico Rivera are using cutting-edge technology to clean up their city, one vandal at a (More) Police in Pico Rivera are using cutting-edge technology to clean up their city, one vandal at a time. The new system, called Graffiti Tracker, is used to catalog and compare incidents of graffiti that normally would be lost under piles of extensive paperwork. Graffiti Tracker utilizes cameras equipped with global positioning system technology. Photos of graffiti are taken by cleanup crews and can be uploaded to a Web site, where they are analyzed and categorized for reference. Capt. Mike Rothans said the system has helped in the prosecution of suspects accused in the Aug. 10 fatal shooting of Maria Hicks. Steve Gutierrez, public safety manager for Pico Rivera, said Graffiti Tracker has been a success since it was implemented last September. In September 2006, Pico Rivera experienced 828 incidents of vandalism. This June, the city had 324 "tags." "We've had over 60 arrests that have been directly attributable to the Graffiti Tracker system," Gutierrez said. Graffiti Tracker, a private company with offices in Long Beach that partners with cities as a private contractor, sorts graffiti by moniker, or the name a tagger uses. In this way, individual taggers can be tracked through each act of vandalism they commit. This allows police to focus efforts on the most prolific vandals, using resources to apprehend the most destructive taggers first and quickly reducing the number of incidents in the city. Tim Kephart, president and founder of Graffiti Tracker, said the intelligence his company gathers and categorizes can help police link caught taggers to previous crimes, to tell police which vandals typically tag together and even to alert police to gang activities in the city. "I thought this was a way we could improve quality of life in communities," Kephart said. "We can give them the intelligence they need to be able to focus on who is doing damage." The Graffiti Tracker company was founded in January of 2006, and employs about a dozen analysts. The program typically costs cities $24,000-$30,000 each year, and is based on the concentration of graffiti in the area. Because Pico Rivera was one of the first cities to contract with the company, its cost was lower. Pico Rivera pays about $18,000 each year, which comes from the city's general fund. Vandals caught through the program have already been ordered by the courts to pay about $30,000 for the damage they've caused, more than paying for the system. Gutierrez said the city spends about $400,000 each year on managing vandalism, and the relatively small cost of the program has allowed city workers to concentrate on the beautification of Pico Rivera, rather than painting over tags. "Those people who were eradicating graffiti are now trimming trees and other things that are needed for the city," Gutierrez said. Graffiti Tracker has also altered Deputy Sergio Peralta's job. As the School Resource Deputy for the El Rancho Unified School District and one of the primary users of the program, Peralta said the new system has been well worth the investment. "The word has gotten out that we've had three big awards given to us by the court in which the taggers have been forced to pay," Peralta said. "The taggers know that we have the system." Peralta said law enforcement needs the cooperation of the community in catching taggers to continue the success of Graffiti Tracker. "This is not a problem that's going to go away any time soon, but it is a problem that we can fight," Peralta said. "And we obviously need their help as much as anything, because people in the neighborhood know who these guys are." Source: Government Innovators Network (Less)
Why aren't USA using aerial spraying to kill Afghan opium ? The only important question is; how long will we be fooled into thinking those who engineer these (More) The only important question is; how long will we be fooled into thinking those who engineer these kinds of wars are simpletons who have our best interests at heart? They tricked us into Vietnam with the Gulf of Tonkin scam and they did it again in Iraq with the WMD scam. Step 1; Plant the seeds for the creation and development of a puppet global enemy. The Bush Sr. team financed and supplied both bin Laden and Saddam in the 1980s. The House of Saud helped with step 1. http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/1999/jan/17/yemen.islam Step 2; make the puppet enemies angry.The Bush Sr. team set up military bases on Saudi holy land after giving Saddam the green light to invade Kuwait. The House of Saud helped with step 2. Step 3; allow the puppet enemy to attack. 9/11 was allowed to happen.The House of Saud helped with step 3. Step 4; make sure the puppet enemy has enough resources to keep up a good fight.That's where the billions of dollars flowing from Afghan opium comes into the game. Afghan opium pays for the IED'S that kill and wound our marines and soldiers yet USAGOV does not aerial spray (for eradication) the wide open Afghan opium fields like we do the Columbian coca fields. Step 5; profiteer off the resulting conflict financially (high oil prices and corrupt defence contracts)and use the war to meet neo-con expansionist goals (permanent military bases throughout the middle east). The House of Saud is participating in step 5. CIA says Afghan Opium Trafficking pays for al-Queda's world-wide terror attacks and also pays for the IED's that kill and cripple our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan: http://armed-services.senate.gov/statemnt/2000/000203gt.pdf Page #7 last paragraph in "Narcotics" section Former CIA Director George Tenat; "there is ample evidence that Islamic extremists such as Usama bin Ladin use profits from the drug trade to support their terror campaign." __________________________ http://www.washtimes.com/national/20040121-101225-6688r.htm back-up link http://opioids.com/afghanistan/osama.html "It seems clear to me heroin is the No. 1 financial asset of Osama bin Laden," Representative Mark Steven Kirk, Illinois Republican, told The Washington Times almost 3 years ago when he came back from a fact-finding mission in Pakistan and Afghanistan. Bin Laden is reaping $24 million alone from one narcotics network in Kandahar, Afghanistan, according to Mr. Kirk's investigation. "The most important thing here is to change the language to not describe Osama bin Laden anymore as a terrorist, but to more accurately describe him as a narco-terrorist," said Representative Kirk. __________________________________ http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/09/02/world/main1962818.shtml http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/2004-10-26-opium-afghanistan_x.htm Doug Wankel, a former Drug Enforcement Administration official who is point man for the U.S. counternarcotics initiative at the American Embassy in Kabul, says the opium industry is "financing terrorism.
