where it is clearly apparent that additional manpower and/or equipment is needed, can

"initial" or "secondary" tows as defined in WAC 204-91A-030.

performed as a result of a private call shall be applied equally to Renton Police originated calls.

signed such agreements will be called by the Renton Police Department in this jurisdiction
except for emergency situations or when a motorist has a personal preference for another tow
operator.

before connecting the vehicle to the tow truck. If the vehicle is stolen, the law
enforcement agency of the jurisdiction where the vehicle is recovered will be notified to
respond and recover the stolen vehicle.

minutes from the initial police call.
