When the police department is in charge of an accident <br /> scene or other such incident, a tow operator shall not respond to <br /> the scene unless his services have been specifically requested by <br /> the police department, the driver/owner, or his agent. <br /> 11. The tow operator shall be available, or will ensure that <br /> specific employees are available, twenty-four hours a day for the <br /> purpose of receiving calls or arranging for the release of vehicles. <br /> Business hours will be posted conspicuously at the operator's place <br /> of business so they can be seen during business hours and <br /> nonbusiness hours. <br /> 12. The tow operator will notify the police department of <br /> the release of stored vehicles within five working days after the <br /> release of such vehicle. <br /> 13.

Example: <br /> A class C truck is used, at the operator's discretion, to tow a class <br /> B truck size vehicle. The fees charged shall be those for a class B, <br /> not a class C. <br /> 14. Charges made for towing services arising from calls <br /> initiated by the police department shall be consistent with charges <br /> made for similar services performed at the request of the general <br /> public. <br /> 15.
