The OPP Tow Program, has seen significant changes to the way officers request services and interacts with Tow & Storage Service Operators.
Operators must submit an annual application, to provide tow and storage services to the OPP for the calendar year.
Beginning January 1st, a list of requirements must be met, before drivers can provide tow and storage services, for police-requested tows.
Caledon OPP conducted inspections of 25 tow trucks over the weekend, 5 of which failed the inspection.
As a result of the inspections several Highway Traffic Act and Town of Caledon By-Law offences were identified as excessive window tinting, improper dolly tires, and back-up warning systems being broken.
The application package, and new list of mandatory equipment and guidelines can be found at OPP.ca
