Statement from Mr. Art Mercer, President:
I am owner/operator of A.T.S. Northeast Tow, Inc. We are located northeast of downtown Los Angeles. We have been operating OPG (Official Police Garage) #11 since 1988. In the industry, we are better known as “Official L.A.P.D. Tow Unit 11.” We provide towing, impound, storage, and other related services exclusively for the Los Angeles Police Department, Central Traffic Division, Fire Department, Department of Transportation, CalTrans, and other official government entities. We also provide full service for the public sector with utmost professional service and priority, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. We also specialize in and around the Los Angeles area for all heavy-duty tow services for the official agencies and the general public.
In recent months, we were involved in several unavoidable accidents involving our trucks and civilian vehicles. Therefore, we are very concerned about the safety, liability, and the nature of high accident ratio due to the ever-growing number of vehicles and congestion on the streets, roads, and highways of the Los Angeles area. So, we became interested in the new technology device called EyePatrol. It provides continuous video recording of what is happening at all times. We have installed it in our big rigs to safeguard our interest. Upon results, I was very surprised how clear, consistent the recorded video images were. The EyePatrol system surpassed my expectation for protecting and safeguarding our interest. We know of various technologies that are available on the market place, but not one had met our needs until we came across the EyePatrol system. We found it to be quick to install, easy to use, free of maintenance, and it had clear day and night video capturing capabilities for good evidence use, and most importantly it was a cost effective solution that far exceeded my expectation for value. Now, we use EyePatrol in our tow trucks to our advantage. Therefore, I feel safe and secure. I personally believe that technology such as this will be the wave of the future. And, according to the EyePatrol spokesperson, we may receive insurance premium discount as well.
