In the graffiti response framework, which action comes first?

• A. Read it
• B. Record it
• C. Report it
• D. Remove it

Answer: (A)

Reading it first is essential because you need to quickly understand what you’re dealing with before you document or act. By taking in the graffiti’s content, location, size, surface, and any identifying words or symbols, you gain crucial context about potential threats, urgency, or safety concerns. That information then guides what you record (exact details, time, location), what you report to the proper channels, and whether removal is appropriate on the spot or if evidence preservation is needed. Jumping ahead to recording, reporting, or removing without first reading could lead to missing important clues or misclassifying the incident. In this framework, the sequence starts with reading, then recording, then reporting, and finally removing.
