Reward Program for Graffiti Information

$500 Reward for Graffiti Information

The City of Hood River has a $500 reward ready for anyone providing information leading to arrest and prosecution of individuals responsible for graffiti within the City of Hood River.

Graffiti represents senseless destruction of property and is an immature expression for attention and power. Cleaning up graffiti costs property owners and city government thousands of dollars each year. In a time when dollars for essential services are drawn thin, cleaning up after irresponsible criminals is a job we can do without.

Anyone with information that can lead to an arrest and prosecution of those responsible for graffiti should contact the Hood River Police at 386-2121. Information can be given anonymously, but it might be difficult to get the $500 reward. Information can also be left on our tip line at 386-9673.

Please help us put arsonists behind bars!
