Hamilton Police Target Unsafe Tow Operators

Hamilton Police launched Project Barrier to address aggressive and predatory tow operators in our city.

As a result:

  • 39 charges were laid 
  • 10 tow licenses were suspended or revoked 
  • 9 operators were charged 
  • 4 companies were banned from operating

Charged businesses include:

  • Provincial Roadside Services 
  • High Class Recovery

These businesses are no longer welcome on Hamilton roads.

What you need to remember at the scene of a collision:

  • You choose the tow operator 
  • Ask for a written estimate before anything is moved 
  • Confirm where your vehicle is going 
  • Do not sign anything you do not understand 
  • Call police if you feel pressured or unsafe
