Someone
has abandoned a junk car in my parking lot or on my property.
Can the Police tow it away for me?
The police department can only have vehicles towed that are
on public property. Call a wrecker service in your area and
the vehicle will be towed away at no cost to you. The wrecker
service will notify the owner once they have determined who
that may be.

Can the Police
open my car if I have locked my keys inside?
Due to the potential for damage to some vehicles, the police
department does not open locked vehicles. A locksmith or a tow company are your
best alternatives. If a child is locked inside your vehicle,
the police department will send a rescue unit to remove the
child from the vehicle, possibly by breaking a window if necessary.

Can
I have the Police Department check someone else to see if
they have a record or if there is a warrant?

from sharing information obtained from the National NCIC computer
system with anyone other than law enforcement personnel.
