Books - Vandal Squad

Watch out!!


This book was written by Joseph Rivera, a Vandal Squad (anti-graffiti) police officer for the NYPD from the mid '80s 'till the '90s. It's a look at the world of graf through the officer's eyes that was responsible for bringing writers to "justice." The pages within this book are filled with tales about some of the most notorious NYC writers, including JAMES TOP of TOP Crew, SEEN and the UA Crew, STAY HIGH 149, SMITH, SANE and The YKK Crew (JA, FOE, KEZ5, SPOT, SKUF) among others. Mr. Rivera documents his tales of cat and mouse games with graf writers that filled his career.
