(a) The chief of police shall create a rapid response list to assign licensed emergency wrecker companies to city-owned vehicles and rapid response locations.
(b) Participation by a licensed emergency wrecker company in the rapid response program is voluntary. An emergency wrecker company may request to be placed on the rapid response list only when applying for license issuance or renewal or at other times designated by the chief of police. An emergency wrecker company may request to have its name removed from the rapid response list at any time.
(c) Each participating emergency wrecker company shall provide at least one conventional light duty wrecker and one tilt bed/roll back carrier to be available to remove vehicles as directed by the chief of police.
(d) Reserved.
(e) If a primary emergency wrecker company is unable to respond, it shall immediately notify the chief of police, and the chief of police will dispatch a back-up emergency wrecker company to the police scene at the rapid response location.
(f) An emergency wrecker company responding to a dispatch under the rapid response program shall arrive at the dispatched location within 15 minutes after notification to do so by the chief of police.
(g) An emergency wrecker company may stage its wreckers in strategic locations (but not on a freeway, highway, or expressway) to facilitate timely response to a police scene in a rapid response location. An emergency wrecker company may not respond to a police scene without first being dispatched by the chief of police.
(h) An emergency wrecker company dispatched to a rapid response location may conduct a "double tow" by loading two vehicles onto a single tilt bed/ rollback carrier, but only when both vehicles are towed from a single police scene to the same location approved by the chief of police. If the emergency wrecker company receives a subsequent request for service at a different location, it must send another wrecker to the other location.
