When would you use a Tow Crane?

• A. Commonly known as a tow truck, a tow crane is available through the dispatcher when an officer needs a vehicle moved. This is normally requested on the scene of traffic crashes (XXXX) in which vehicles are damaged.
• B. Only at the station.
• C. For routine parking on city streets.
• D. To tow civilian vehicles for personal reasons.

Answer: (A)

Tow cranes are official equipment used to move a vehicle at the scene, typically after a traffic crash where the vehicles are damaged. They are requested through the dispatcher to quickly clear the roadway and ensure safety and proper handling of the scene. This is the standard procedure when a damaged vehicle needs to be moved. It isn’t used at the station, it isn’t for routine parking enforcement, and it isn’t for towing civilian vehicles for personal reasons.
