Patrol vehicles, what do you get to drive?

[Jackhole]

Not in every state, though. Just like green is not for NIMS Command Vehicles in every state.

I thought that was a universal thing. I know purple is for funeral processions in NY, but the V&T law makes no mention of purple lights.

Purple would be very, very, strange to see. I have never seen purple strobes.

Have not seen anything in Florida yet. Though the new LED FHP lights do have a slight tint of purple to them at an angle. The Polk County Sheriff Office have new Chevys with these all blue LEDs in-cased in an all clear housing. It looks really weird. But man is it bright!

Willis-Knighton got some new 06 impalas a while back. badged-up exactly like Shreveport Police, but instead of them saying Shreveport police, it says Willis-Knighton Police. Got a full lightbar,strobes, Code 3 siren, PA system...the works. I'll get a picture up ASAP.

I apologize for the dark picture, but it gives you an idea. Lightbar is clear/amber to the front, and red to the rear.

Dayum are you hiring?

LOL, as a matter of a fact yes, check out this link. These guys practice it, and an emplyee of theres, named Sands pulled over a judge recently. Assholes, they cause so many problems and we are shocked that they havent been shut down as of yet.

if you were asking about the lightbar, its all purple to the front (the white takedown lights dont flash), the rear is red with amber flashers. we are looking at new L.E.D bars here soon, our chief is looking at the fronts being green / white, and keeping the rear the same.

Unfortunately, yes... This is the key thing that tends to make LEOs upset about security vehicles that have lightbars... All it takes is a few bad apples, ya know? There's one town in particular that had such a large problem with it, that they actually passed a city ordinance making rooftop lightbars illegal to own by any private security provider... And actually allows the LEOs to CONFISCATE the bar if they see one.... Forced all the companies that operate in that area to switch to a slick-top setup.... A little excessive in my opinion, but I can understand where they're coming from.

the only issues with the purple is at night, sometimes law enforcement will think the lightbar is blue when the bar is off. during the day no problem. 99% of the time we don't have any issues, as long as we don't run any of the lighting on the city streets. we have been running our patrol vehicles this way for 4 years, and now we are starting to see other patrol services in the area going with purple mostly in-house departments.

one issue that the local police has advised us on and it has nothing to do with my department, is that there is one or two security officers here in Columbus that have been making traffic stops or pulling cars over. this is making the other departments/companies look bad.

do any of you on this forum have this problem in your area now or in the past?
