To All Existing & Interested Tow Companies:
On this webpage you will find the Agreement, Application, Check List, Zone Maps/Descriptions, and Instructions for Unified Police Department’s (UPD) 2023-2024 Rotation Year. UPD will start accepting completed Tow Packets which must include the Agreement, Application and all documents on the Check List, at 8:00 a.m. on Monday, May 8, 2023, and are due no later than 4:00 p.m. on Monday, June 5, 2023. Please read all documentation carefully and note that there have been some changes made.
If we do not recieve all signed agreements and applications in person by June 5, 2023, your company will be denied.
FBI Background checks are no longer required as part of the packet unless a situation arises. BCI and a valid UDOT Driver Certification are still required and will now be accepted up to Forty-Five (45) calendar days instead of (30) days prior to June 5, 2023 from date pulled by BCI or the UDOT Driver Certification. UPD reserves the right to request an FBI Background Check and/or Out of State Criminal Background Check at any time. If an FBI or Out of State criminal Background is requested, temporary approvals can be made by the Towing Coordinator and will be revoked if the subject’s record does not meet the criteria outlined in the Agreement.
Approval and/or Denial Letters for yards, trucks, drivers and office staff will be sent to your company no later than Friday, June 30, 2023.
Companies will not be fully approved to participate in UPD’s Rotation until operators have obtained their 2023-2024 UPD identification card.
To obtain UPD Identification ID Cards for approved drivers, each driver will need to respond to UPD’s Technical Services Division and pay the $10.00 ID Card fee. Office hours are Monday - Friday 8:00am - 4:00pm. Once the fee is paid and all previous badges are returned the Approval Letter and current ID cards will be available for pick up. If you have lost or misplaced your current badge, you must submit two (2) separate company letterheads, one signed by the owner and another signed by the operator, stating what happened to the badge.
Companies will not be approved to participate in UPD's 2023-2024 Tow Rotation until approved decals have been picked up and signed.
Decals for approved Tow Trucks can be obtained in UPD’s Technical Services Division. Removal of previous years window decal is required. Any Company Employee may respond to obtain the decals and must bring the Approval Letter with them. Decals will not be mailed out.
For any questions, please contact UPD’s Towing Coordinators.
