LANCASTER STATION
UNIT ORDER # 7
PERSONAL VEHICLE STORAGE
PURPOSE:
The purpose of this unit order is to provide protocol regarding the parking and storage of personal vehicles at Lancaster Station.
ORDER:
At times, the station parking lot is being used by some as a storage lot for personal vehicles, boats, motor homes, and trailers. I understand that occasionally there may be a need to store a personal vehicle for a few days, but we cannot provide parking spaces for long-term storage of personal vehicles.
The station’s fleet Law Enforcement Technician will be tasked with monitoring the lot for stored/abandoned vehicles. So, in those rare occasions when you need to store a personal vehicle in the lot for a few days, provide the fleet LET with a description of your vehicle and the number of days the vehicle will be in the lot.
The fleet LET will advise the operations sergeant of all unauthorized stored and abandoned vehicles. The operations sergeant will attempt to identify the owner of the stored/abandoned vehicle and order its removal. If the owner cannot be identified, or fails to remove the vehicle, with my approval, it will be towed from the lot. It will be the owner’s responsibility to pay the cost for towing and storage.
