You mean on their personally owned vehicle?
I suppose that they COULD anytime (though their use would be limited by the Off Duty Action policy of their department), but I have never met a single cop who did.
Driving around with lights and siren for eight hours a day is quite enough. The other cops you worked with would look at you as an over-eager "wanna-be" if you did that. Leave the lights and sirens at work. Trust me.

If his jurisdiction is too poor to provide them with a car!

When you have your boss's and insurance company's permission.
