Code 2 - Expedite. Use of lights and siren is dictated by jurisdiction. It is sometimes used in hostage situations so the perpetrator is not aware that the police are responding.
Code 3 - Emergency response, lights and sirens.
Code 4 - No further assistance is needed.
Code 5 - Stake out, all units stay away unless emergencies or in response to call.
@superkinze Are you trying to ask: "Does every officer have an unmarked car issued to them?" The answer depends on the agency the officer works for. Some agencies allow their officers to take home their patrol car. If the patrol car is an unmarked vehicle then the officer is allowed to take that home. Other agencies do not have the resources to issue every officer their own personal vehicle.
@KTFProductions1 well actually you answered part of my question, what i wanted to ask was: for example, you are a police officer and YOUR personal car is a Explorer (for example), are you allowed to install sirens and strobes and stuff?
@superkinze I would assume the answer would generally be no. In most areas (if not all) officers who are subject to being called in while off duty are normally assigned to a special detail which would require them to have a department issued vehicle. This is a different train of thought compared to the volunteer fire departments where citizens outfit their personal vehicles with lights and sirens. I also assume it has something to do with liability and insurance.
@KTFProductions1 Only in a few states is this still allowed. Usually the Sheriff in many rural parts of the US will use own vehicle and outfit them with lights/siren...the state provides a "sheriff" license plate. This is true in some southern states.
In Connecticut state troopers are all issued unmarked cars and they have a removable light bar they put on when on duty.
@KTFProductions1 yeah that makes sense, i mean, if you outfit your personal vehicle with sirens, use them to respond to situations, and then for some reason have it involved in a crash...you cant blame the state and make them pay for the damages
@superkinze Unfortunately the most accurate answer is that it varies from state to state. Even when a state's laws would allow for an officer to pull people over or otherwise use their personal vehicle in some official capacity, there is almost always going to be department policy that forbids it.
@superkinze The US doesn't have a police force at the national level like Canada's RCMP or Brazil's PRF. We instead rely on local and state governments to provide everyday police services, and each agency has different policies for that sort of thing. In Hawaii, officers occasionally use their personal vehicles for routine patrols, but that's not typical. For the most part, though, if an officer could be called to emergencies while off-duty, he will be issued a vehicle, marked or unmarked.
@thespecialneedsgroup now i get it. i hadnt tought about the fact that the US doesnt have a police force at national level, that totally makes sense. its better because you dont need to rely on the government to provide all the police services for the whole nation, but on the other hand you cant impose the same rules for every department in every state, although that doenst matter much, as long as they protect and serve, who cares if the PV has a steady amber light pointing forward? heh tks man!
I wanted to ask: since I am going to get involved in law enforcement within the next two years, can I use a personal car towards my duties. In other words: can I use a 2011 BMW M3 coupe for my duties and put police lights and a computer on them when I'm an officer?
I do apologize but say your a police officer going to a burglary and you want to catch the robber but you dont want to give your location away so you run what here in Texas is called code 2 which is lights all the way to the call and sirens only at intersections and places of high traffic, now code 3 is considered lights and sirens all the way to the call a domestic disturbance may be one to use code 3 and code 1 is simple no lights no sirens just maybe an extra patrol of some sort.
I wish people would stop commenting on these videos telling the uploader this is code 2. Its considered code 3 in Arizona and i'm guessing Nevada too. Now stop please
@RyannRebel Thank you RyannRebel. My agency trained me that code 2 is no lights and sirens. Code 3 is lights and sirens. There is no in between (i.e. lights and no sirens.)
@KTFProductions1 Gwinnett County, GA, where I live is actually backwards. Code 1 is respond with lights and sirens, can 2 is respond without delay, but no lights and sirens, and code 3 is respond routine.
code 3 in mo is lights and sirens and in illinois where i work is lites and sirens code 1 is no lites and normal driving speed code 2 is lites and 10 mph over speed limit code 3 is lit up like a christmas tree and so loud you can here us coming a mile away it is weird how different areas do different it should be standard operating procedure it should be standardized all over the nation
@mrpoliceman09 exactly im a professional fire man and we actually run cose 3 inroute people need to get it rite before placing it on utube it just shows theyre ignorence
@wbuttry First of all, before you go saying how ignorant someone is you might want to check your own spelling. Second of all different areas use different terminology. For my area, Code 2 is no lights and sirens. Code 3 is lights and/or sirens. In fact, in Nevada it is against the law to run lights with no sirens all though we do it all the time. When we do this we still refer to it as Code 3.
He is driving a Code 2.. Cool video.... I like this unmarked vehicles, look at my channel to see my unmarked motorcicle... thanks! :D
