No. If they are going to a burglary they may go in with ALL of their lights off. Sirens are designed to get attention so people will move out of the way. Sometimes that attention is unneeded or unwanted.

Very rarely do police use sirens unless they are in a heavy traffic environment and need people to know they are coming fast.

No...sometimes they'll run silently so they don't scare them off.
If there's a report of a fight, however, some wise officers will hit the siren so people scatter.

most depts run lites/sirens when they have life threatening calls such as domestic violence, fites, stabbings, shooting, robberies, car accidents - with injuries, just to name a few
