Sec. 13-257. Miscellaneous provisions.
(a) If a specific towing firm is requested by a private party, but called in by a police officer, there shall be no entry on the tow log. If a private party has no preference, the next tow in rotation will be called and so logged.
(b) The initial and/or investigating officer at the scene of an incident requiring the use of a towing vehicle shall make the determination as to the category and class of said vehicle, based upon the information available, and shall then request such vehicle accordingly.
In instances where a Police Department vehicle becomes disabled due to an accident, mechanical failure, etc., and has to be towed, no charge will be incurred by the Town Police Department or the Town. This would also not be considered as a call out for the tow firm, and subsequent, said firm would not lose its place in the regular rotation of calls.
