Graffiti removal: The Durham Police Department's DRAGON Gang Investigation Unit has set up an e-mail address for people to report gang graffiti that needs to be removed and to report any gang-related criminal activity. The e-mail address is: gangunit@ci.durham.nc.us. DRAGON investigators will check e-mail every day they are on duty. Investigators ask that specific locations and a brief description of the graffiti be included in the e-mails. Police officers and members of the city's Impact Team remove graffiti as quickly as possible. Investigators document the graffiti before it is removed. Phone: Gang Unit 560-1133
