• Towing and Impound Release: Payment of towing fees to recover vehicles (note that the municipal pound has specific release hours).
• Prevention Programs: The community relations team manages initiatives like neighborhood watch and anti-fraud workshops.

Accessibility

The headquarters features a reception area that is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for general assistance and reporting. While patrol officers are always active, administrative services such as background checks may process payments via cash or debit. The facility is equipped to handle sensitive inquiries with confidentiality and professionalism.
