Whenever you repossess a vehicle the police require that they be notified. Some police departments require that you bring your repossession paperwork into their station prior to repossessing the vehicle. Other police departments only require a phone call from the repossessor after the repossession has taken place.

Some police departments do not require you to log the repossession, if you have made contact with the debtor and he has voluntarilly surrendered the collateral to be repossessed. Since the debtor is aware that the collateral was repossessed he should not report the repossessed vehicle as stolen to the police.

Always check with the local police department before performing the repossession and ask them how they want you to handle logging the repossession with them. Calling them after the repossession may land you in a hot spot with the local cops.

Always make note on your repossession order:

Date of the repossession.
Time of the repossession.
Phone number to the police department.
Officer's name and badge number that the repossession was reported to.
License plate on the repossessed vehicle.
