Thay can, and in many jurisdictions it is required before repossession is performed. In others it is only necessary to notify police within 24 hours of recovery.

What can you do if a repossession agent came looking for a car that belongs to your son the car was not there you told him you were not your son and you asked him to leave but he wouldn't?
Call the police.They will sort it out for you.Your son cannot be arrested it is a civil not a crimminal matter. Absolutely call the police -- at the very least, the repoman is trespassing (assuming that it's YOUR home and not owned or rented by your son) on your property. Also, in many states, the repo agent MUST leave if asked to. To linger after being told to leave is trespassing and a "breach of the peace." Check with your local/state statutes on repossession laws!

What are the Laws in Texas about a Police helping in a repo?
If the repossessor has a written assignment from the lienholder to repossess the vehicle for nonpayment, 9 out of 10 times, the police will allow the repossessor to take the vehicle. No, Use of a Police Officer or Police involvement in self-help repossession introduces the state into a civil matter and provides the foundation for a wrongful repossession suit against the Secured Party, the repossession agent, the police officer and the police department.The authority to use Self-Help repossession is granted in the UCC 9-609 and Comment 3 of 9-609 specifically states "This section does not authorize a Secured Party who repossesses without judicial process to utilize the assistance of a law enforcement officer."Simply put if you want to use a police office to assist in a repossession you better go to court and obtain a Writ of Replevin/Sequestrian first.
