Law enforcement towing is one sector of the booming towing services industry that is in high demand. In fact, there are companies designated simply to cater and provide services to highway patrol departments, sheriff departments, as well as police departments throughout the United States.
This kind of towing service is needed by law enforcement for a variety of reasons. Towing may be needed by authorities when the owner of a motor vehicle has been arrested, or perhaps is pulled over and is uninsured or unlicensed. Additionally, towing may be required when a vehicle has been parked illegally, it’s recovered after being stolen, it’s been abandoned, etc.
Most towing companies that cater to law enforcement agencies across the United States have the ability to tow all sizes of vehicle, not just passenger vehicles. Towing companies catering to law enforcement can usually tow tractor-trailers, motor homes, buses, motorcycles, etc.
And, if the motor vehicle hasn’t been claimed by its owner within a certain time period (usually 30 to 120 days), these companies usually conduct the lien sales and auctions as well.
