How Patrol Works

Officers sign in with their phone number on the ParkHere app. They select a location and see all valid and expired plates in real-time. If they find an unauthorized vehicle, they can request a tow directly from the app.

Add a Service Provider

Service providers are towing companies or roadside assistance that respond to patrol requests. They need a business name, phone, email for notifications, and address. Assign them to locations where they operate.

How Tow Requests Work

When a patrol officer spots an unauthorized vehicle, they create a tow request with the plate number, vehicle color, and notes. The assigned service provider receives an email with accept and reject links - no account needed. The officer sees the response on the patrol page.

What Providers See

Service providers receive an email with all the details they need: plate number, vehicle color, location address, and the requesting officer's phone number. They click Accept or Reject - no login required. The response link expires after 24 hours.

Managing Your Team

You can edit officer or provider details at any time - update their name, phone, assigned locations, or remove them entirely. Removing an officer or provider is a soft delete and doesn't affect historical tow request records.

Update details or reassign locations anytime
Remove officers or providers when no longer needed
Historical tow request records are preserved
