In 2011, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department (LASD) chose the Gardena Police Department as the first law enforcement agency to have access to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department's "TAGRS" graffiti system. This program incorporated the City of Gardena's Public Works graffiti abatement process with the Sheriff's "TAGRS" program. Since taggers are transient in their "Hit Ups", the new system allowed the Gardena Police Department, Gardena Public Works and LASD to document, geographically code and track taggers/crews from the Mexican Border to Ventura and San Bernardino to the beach cities. "TAGRS" will allow for multiple law enforcement agencies to share and gather intelligence on the tagger/crews and increase prosecutions.
