Theo nguồn tin trên trang của phoenix.gov

July 15, 2014 ​Are you interested in learning how the city fights back against graffiti and how you can make a difference in those efforts? Have you ever been curious about the different types of graffiti you may see in your neighborhood and the meaning behind it? Now’s your chance as the city offers two free workshops to tackle and learn more about the history and types of graffiti found in Phoenix. Mark your calendars for the following: • Power Washer Certification: The city’s Neighborhood Services Department is rolling out another tool to help fight against graffiti. A power washer has been outfitted on a trailer, which can be checked out by those certified in its use and who have the proper insurance to pull a trailer behind their vehicle. This is a great new opportunity for residents to help eliminate graffiti in their neighborhoods. The power washer works best on graffiti that is on or covers an untreated surface such as block fences, sidewalks, etc. Come see what the power washer can do and get certified to use this new tool. The workshop starts at 7 p.m. Monday, July 21, at NSD West Facility, 3325 W. Flower St. • Graffiti 101: Join Phoenix Police Graffiti Detective Tim Reese for a free workshop to discuss and learn the history of graffiti, links between graffiti and crime, the penalties associated with graffiti, resources for removal, and much more. The workshop is from 6 to 8 p.m. Thursday, July 24, at the Mountain View Police Precinct, 2075 E. Maryland Ave. For more information or to register for one or both of the workshops, call 602-534-4444, email neighborhood.college@phoenix.gov or visit phoenix.gov/nsd/neighborhoodcollege.
