Effective prevention in Coquitlam layers three controls: CPTED design (lighting + sightlines), anti-graffiti coating on the most-tagged 200 sq ft of facade, and rapid removal under 48 h to break the "visible damage = more tags" cycle. With Coquitlam's ~800 annual incidents concentrated in commercial corridors, this combination typically reduces repeat-tag frequency by 60–80%.

Coquitlam receives 1580mm of annual rainfall, which causes spray paint to penetrate porous surfaces like concrete, stucco, wood rapidly — making prompt removal essential before paint bonds permanently.
