What it does
This law would require the Police Department to operate tow pound facilities with sufficient capacity to meet a rate of vehicle towing necessary to deter illegal conduct. The Police Department would also be responsible for issuing public reports on tow facility capacity and the Department’s utilization of vehicle towing in response to violations of traffic laws, rules, and regulations.
