On what situations are police allowed to put on lights and sirens?

Question

give me a nice list

Answer 1

When they deem it necessary, and completely at their own discretion. A group of five of us in a car saw a cop put on his lights to get through traffic and then pull into a burger king drive through. A friends mom complained and the department said that it is not against the law for him to us his lights as he sees fit. So pretty much, if he wants to put on the berries and cherries because Pittsburgh just scored a touchdown, hey that's his call... but of course he has a boss, who he is eventually going to get irritated, if he gets too many complaints over a siren happy maverick.

Answer 2

Any time they feel they need to. When I worked in downtown Des Moines in a building across from the main fire staton, every morning at 10 sharp a fire engine and chief's car would rush out of there. We were certain they were going for a coffee break somewhere since it was regular as clockwork.

Answer 3

1. When responding to an emergency
2. When pulling another vehicle over
3. To close off a street
4. At the scene of an emergency
5. To close lanes on a highway down
6. At construction details
7. To get illegally parked driver's attention

Answer 4

Generally this is determined by department policies. If the department starts getting complaints then they tend to tighten down on unnecessary 'code runs.'

Answer 5

When they are in pursuit.
When they are responding to a call where someone's life is in imminent danger.
When they are responding to a felony (robbery, rape, assault with a deadly weapon) in progress.
