Webinar On-Demand with Police1: Every Minute On the Roadside Increases Risk — Towing Program Improvements Can Save Time and Lives

About the Webinar

🔎In this webinar: Learn how modern towing workflows can cut response times and clear scenes faster

About This Webinar

Struck-by incidents remain the leading cause of officer fatalities, and too often routine towing operations keep officers exposed on the roadside for 45 minutes or more. This webinar examines how law enforcement agencies can significantly reduce that risk by modernizing outdated towing workflows that slow response and increase danger.

You’ll learn how agencies are replacing manual processes and fragmented systems with centralized towing management technology that streamlines how officers request and track tows, communicate with dispatch and tow operators and complete roadside reporting. The results are faster clearance times, reduced radio traffic and fewer opportunities for secondary crashes.

Through real-world highway patrol case studies, we show how agencies have cut per-tow time by up to 50%, contributing to measurable safety gains including fewer fatalities and serious injuries each year. Join us to discover practical, proven strategies your agency can implement to get officers out of harm’s way faster and make every roadside interaction safer.

By viewing this webinar, you will:

  • Learn national statistics that show how tow-related roadside processes impact officer safety.
  • Understand which tow-related manual processes and disconnected systems extend roadside exposure time and increase officer risk from passing traffic.
  • Calculate current roadside exposure time per tow in your agency.

Who Should Watch?

This on-demand webinar is ideal for:

  • Patrol officers
  • Traffic enforcement / Highway patrol
  • Accident / Crash reconstruction investigators
  • Motor unit officers
  • Emergency communications / Dispatch supervisors
  • Traffic unit supervisors
  • Commercial vehicle enforcement officers
  • Public safety communications directors

What You’ll Learn:

  • Clear answers about payment methods and options today’s towing customers prefer
  • What motorists say about security and trust – and what makes them hesitate at point of payment
  • Reasoning behind expectations for mobile-first options like digital wallets and text-to-pay
  • Practical steps you can take to modernize your payment experience and get your Operators off roadsides faster
