(a) When a Perry police officer decides to impound a vehicle and the owner or operator does not request a specific wrecker , the impounding officer will refer to the Department’s tow log. The officer will request the next wrecker service in line on the tow log. Command reserves the right to verify “owner requests.”
(b) The impounding officer will fill in the appropriate information on the tow log. This tow log will be made available to any representative of the wrecker services listed on the tow log upon request.
(c) If an officer requests the next service in the rotation and are advised they are not available or they do not respond to the scene it will be noted by the officer on the tow log. The officer will also submit a report in writing to the Chief detailing the incident. If a situation arises where the officer needs to clear the scene in short order and the wrecker requested has not arrived in a timely fashion, the officer may advise dispatch to cancel that wrecker and request the next wrecker service-on the rotation.
(d) After the second incident where the company does not respond, a letter will be sent from the Police Department warning the wrecker service that if there are two more violations they will be removed from tow log. At such time as they are removed from the log the company will be notified in writing of that decision.
