Ad hoc impoundment committee asks CPD detailed questions on towing fees, waivers and data
Summary
An ad hoc committee presented a list of impoundment policy questions for CPD, asking whether private vendors are used, how fee waivers are decided (form A-32.122), and whether CPD tracks impound and waiver data; the board asked the IG to forward the questions to CPD.
Members of an impoundment ad hoc committee read a set of detailed questions the group wants the Division of Police to answer, focusing on towing vendors, fee-waiver criteria, and data tracking. The committee asked whether CPD always uses third-party private towing, how fee waivers are evaluated (form A-32.122), who reviews waiver requests and whether the city tracks impoundment and waiver approvals.
"Does the Columbus Police Division always use a third-party private towing company for towing and impounding vehicles?" the committee chair asked, and added several follow-up queries about fee-waiver narrative guidance and whether forms could be modified to list permissible waiver conditions per Columbus city code. The board agreed to send the questions to the IG for transmission to CPD.
