Safety and prevention. The goal is to reduce uncivil attitudes and behaviour in the city’s streets and squares and improve coexistence.

The City Police is running a new campaign from today until Sunday, to prevent and correct unauthorised graffiti in public and private spaces. The campaign is part of a new joint responsibility plan which seeks to reduce uncivil attitudes in the city’s streets and squares and improve coexistence.

The City Police will be working to safeguard the maintenance of public space, cracking down on conduct which degrades that space, with corrective action and formal denouncements, particularly relating to graffiti.

In this respect, all types of graffiti, daubed paint, stains, scribbles, texts, inscriptions and graphics made with ink, paint or any other organic material is regarded as the degradation of urban space, as is scratching the surfaces of property.
