§47-952.
   
   A. The Department of Public Safety shall have the power and authority
   necessary to license, supervise, govern and control wrecker vehicles
   and wrecker or towing services.
   
   B. The Department of Public Safety shall adopt and prescribe such
   rules as are necessary to carry out the intent of Section 951 et seq.
   of this title.
   
   The rules shall state the requirements for facilities, for storage of
   vehicles, necessary towing equipment, the records to be kept by
   operators, liability insurance and insurance covering the vehicle and
   its contents while in storage in such sum and with such provisions as
   the Department deems necessary to adequately protect the interests of
   the public, and such other matters as the Department may prescribe for
   the protection of the public.
   
   C. Unless otherwise regulated by the governing body of the political
   subdivision, the wrecker vehicle used to perform wrecker or towing
   services requested by a political subdivision of this state for
   removal of a vehicle from public property for reasons listed in
   Section 955 of this title shall be from the licensed wrecker or towing
   service whose location is nearest to the vehicle to be towed. Requests
   for service may be alternated or rotated among all such licensed
   wrecker or towing services which are located within a reasonable
   radius of each other. In cities of less than fifty thousand (50,000)
   population, all such licensed wrecker or towing services located near
   or in the city limits of such cities shall be considered as being
   equal distance and shall be called on an equal basis as nearly as
   possible.
   
   D. The Department and any municipality, county or other political
   subdivision of this state may place any licensed wrecker or towing
   service upon an official rotation log for the performance of services
   carried out pursuant to the request of or at the direction of any
   officer of the Department or municipality, county or political
   subdivision. When performing services at the request of any officer,
   no operator or wrecker or towing service upon the rotation logs shall
   charge fees in excess of the maximum rates for services performed
   within this state, including incorporated and unincorporated areas, as
   prescribed in Section 4 of this act.
