With FSU, FAMU, TCC along with the trade schools in our area, Tallahassee has a large student population. Danny B's motto : TREAT YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS THE SAME WAY WE WANT OUR'S TO BE TREATED. We are parents, with a wrecker service.

This is a Tallahassee Police Dept. wrecker permit, as with the county this is issued after a background check. It is also used to track any information about the actual permit holder. Some companies may have more drivers than wreckers. Each person who has the legal right to look inside a vehicle to get information such as the legal owner must have a wrecker permit, again the picture should always match the person....
(Below) LCSO TOWING WRECKER PERMIT. The number 0002 is the permit issued to Danny by the county. As with the City Permit above, this is required in order to be included on the wrecker rotation list for Leon County Sheriffs Office. This permit should be visable to Law Enforcement and motorist at all times if the tower has been dispatched by LCSO for any reason. Leon County has this law to protect the motoring public, passengers as well as every person having an interest in a vehicle. As parents, we find peace of mind in knowing our family members or anyone else's is going to be riding with a person who has committed a sexual crime.
