Where’s My Car? Sandy Springs New Online System

You have had a long, hard day at work and you just want to drive home in the peace and quiet.  But wait a minute.  You don’t see your car - did you park it some place different and forget?  Or was it stolen?  Maybe it was towed?  Now, Sandy Springs citizens and Sandy Springs visitors can go online to http://ga.towedcar.com to locate towed vehicles.

 
VINS-enabled communication between the SSPD and the city’s contract tower, A Tow, will allow 24×7 towed vehicle recovery and eliminate the requirement to visit the police station prior to retrieval at the storage lot. VINS will also lower SSPD officer workload through electronic towing reports and automatic dispatching of A Tow wreckers without Fulton County dispatcher involvement.

 
“Though our strong partnership with SSPD, we are excited about providing this expanded service,” states S. Page Porter, CEO of A Tow. “We see this initiative as a model of how private and public sector cooperation can provide higher quality cost-effective services to citizens and taxpayers.”

 
The Towed Vehicle Locator Initiative connects the dots and enables disparate law enforcement agencies to easily locate vehicles that have been towed in neighboring jurisdictions, dramatically lowering the number of erroneous stolen vehicle reports, as well as the time required to locate a missing vehicle.
