Tow Rotation Program



The Turlock Police Department has developed the Tow Rotation Program to provide for rapid and efficient removal of vehicles, and to help maintain safety on the roadways and throughout the City of Turlock. The Turlock Police Department coordinates the Public's and the City's tow services through the municipal contract and through communication with the tow companies. This ensures that all tow companies maintain a high level of safety and service to the public.

The Turlock Police Department currently has two rotation lists; regular rotation and abandoned vehicle rotation. Every applicant that is approved for addition to the tow rotation is automatically put on both lists and is expected to maintain a high level of professionalism. The tow truck rotation municipal contract can be found under the Turlock Municipal code section 4-15-101
