Niland, CA – On Friday, May 22, 2026, the Imperial County Sheriff’s Office hosted a community graffiti clean-up event in Niland. Imperial County Deputy Sheriffs and Niland community volunteers came together to paint over graffiti that has increasingly impacted the area over time.
The Imperial County Sheriff’s Office extends its sincere appreciation to the Niland community who volunteered their time and effort to improve the community. We would also like to thank Realtor Estela Gonzalez of Coldwell Banker/The Wilkinson Team, and Mac Lucero for generously donating paint, supplies, and equipment that made this event possible.
Additionally, we extend our gratitude to Yeyas Market in Niland and Eddy Ateek for providing lunch to volunteers and participants.
Graffiti is not only an eyesore that negatively affects the appearance of our communities, but it is also a crime. Individuals who maliciously deface property with graffiti may be subject to arrest and prosecution pursuant to California Penal Code Section 594(a) – Vandalism.
The Imperial County Sheriff’s Office remains committed to working alongside our communities to improve quality of life, promote neighborhood pride, and keep Imperial County clean and safe for all residents.
