Desk personnel fielding calls for service in which a vehicle is being stored at the request of a private party or repossessed shall fill out the form titled "Private Vehicle Storage / Repossession." Once the form is complete with all available and applicable information, a file number is drawn which shall be documented on the form.

The employee shall immediately hand-carry both the original form and the copy to the station secretary. The secretary shall sign the copy and indicate the date and time received. The employee will then take the signed copy to the Watch Sergeant who shall keep the copy until the original form is entered and returned, along with the printout to the Watch Sergeant report in-tray. The Watch Sergeant shall then process the original and give the signed copy to the Watch Deputy to be maintained in the desk log.

In the case where there is no station secretary on duty, the employee completing the form shall immediately notify the Watch Sergeant or Watch Commander and a determination will be made whether to hold the form for the next available station secretary coming on duty or arrange for entry by another station secretary.
