Prior to obtaining a release for a vehicle that has been towed by the Ripon Police Department, STATE LAW requires the following:
1. Two (2) Valid Drivers must be present.

If you are the registered owner of the vehicle, and your drivers license is NOT VALID, you must bring two people with VALID drivers licenses to obtain your vehicle.

We can only release the vehicle to the registered owner or a representative of the owner, holding a notarized letter giving them permission to take possession of the vehicle, OR a letter from the San Joaquin County Jail with the registered owner's and witnessing Deputy's signatures.
