When a police officer investigating a crash or disablement in the city determines that any vehicle involved should be removed by a wrecker, the officer shall first determine whether or not the owner or his authorized representative has already made arrangements for its removal. If no arrangements have been made, the investigating officer shall cause the following steps to be taken, in sequence:
(A) The officer shall request that the driver, owner, or other occupant indicate whether he has a particular wrecker service he wishes to be called to the scene to remove the vehicle.
(B) The officer shall then immediately notify Police Communications of the requested wrecker service. Police Communications shall immediately notify the requested wrecker service which shall then immediately proceed to the scene of the crash.
(C) If, for any reason, no wrecker service is selected, the officer shall notify Police Communications to contact the wrecker service on the police wrecker rotation list on duty for that week to respond to the scene for removal of the vehicle.
(D) In the event that a wrecker does not arrive at the scene of an accident or disablement within a reasonable time after being notified, the peace officer at the scene may notify Police Communications that another wrecker service on the police wrecker rotation list be notified to respond.
