  • If you cannot remain at the scene until an officer arrives, cover any graffiti/evidence with a piece of paper. Write on the paper that UPD was called and give the date and time of your call. This will prevent others from seeing it and making additional calls or erasing the evidence.

  OTHER PROPERTY DAMAGE
