Case Study: City of Fort Collins reduces graffiti with Comcate's mobile app

Fort Collins, CO Leverages Mobile App to Combat Graffiti

The City of Fort Collins faced a significant challenge with graffiti defacing public and private property. To combat this, the city council made graffiti abatement a priority and sought to empower its citizens to help improve their community. The city partnered with vendor Comcate to implement a mobile application for reporting issues.

Comcate provided a user-friendly mobile app that allowed citizens to submit real-time pictures and locations of graffiti. The solution included a back-end system for the city to track and manage these requests efficiently. As a result, hundreds of residents used the app, leading to the identification of an estimated 50% of all existing graffiti, which was then cleaned up using Comcate's GIS location mapping. This significantly improved community involvement and peace of mind.
