Task Force guides City's anti-graffiti program
A Graffiti Task Force, comprised of the LEPD, Public Works, Code Enforcement, Parks Division and Information Technology, is actively working to reduce vandalism and graffiti related crimes against property. The Task Force is implementing a comprehensive graffiti action plan that focuses on increasing anti-graffiti education & prevention, as well as graffiti-related crime prevention, prosecution and restitution efforts.

Lake Elsinore’s Graffiti Prevention and Abatement Chapter 9.52 of the LEMC requires that graffiti be removed in a timely manner. If it is not, then the City Code Enforcement Division may issue a notice of violation.
