Tow operators that perform police-initiated tows in unincorporated San Bernardino County must hold a Sheriff rotation tow contract and follow California Vehicle Code rate posting and storage rules.
The Sheriff maintains a rotation tow program with vetted operators that respond to crashes, abandoned vehicles, and law enforcement calls in unincorporated areas. Operators must meet California Highway Patrol rotation standards, carry adequate insurance, and operate compliant storage yards. California Vehicle Code section 22651 governs when a vehicle may be removed, while sections 22850 and 22651.07 cap nonconsensual tow and storage fees and require detailed receipts. Vehicle owners can appeal tows through a post-storage hearing.
Charging excess fees, refusing post-storage hearings, or operating without rotation approval can lead to contract termination and consumer protection penalties.
