As stated in previous comment"   our businesses are licensed by the locality in which we preside, and our industry is closely watched by the local Towing Advisory Boards. Our local police department does a fine job keeping local towing companies in check when there is a complaint. In Virginia Beach we have a towing comment survey form that is given to each non-consensual and police tow. The complainant must mail in the form with their contact and tow information. This allows the towing company to present their side of the story when accused of wrongful conduct..."

Many have a Advisory Board... here in Henrico we do not.. although I have heard serveral companues & attorneys mention to Henrico that a Towing Advisory Board is REQUIRED... ?.

Providing the services to the police depeartments is a pride and joy.. there will aways be two sides of the story....there seems to be a issue of the Police Dept ACTUALLY backing up Towing Companies.. just rather go along with the those in charge of things.

I have been unjustly removed from the Henrico rotation for unjust reasons.. here and actually getting the support to accept that the Towing Company is a a asset to the community as well as to them seems hard...

I think there is a need for some form of regulation which serveral areas have.. a better way to doing this is needed...

Seems in a issue where a customer makes a complaint( in retalliation none the less) it opens up a BIG can or worms and like Ive learned .. you're already GUILTY and must find to show you are a honest, family man ..small business owner trying to do everyone right and do no wrong.....

Very hard.. seems any more ya need a lawyer for everything these days... wish there was a way to just go back the the older time periods as some have stated.. with everything was done within a small community where ya lived......I mean how in the world can what works for say Louisa County.. be the same For NewPort News?

There is ALOT of new comments.. and it will be VERY interesting to actually see the meeting & answers......
