Police vehicle lights are an essential tool for law enforcement officers on duty. The flashing lights on a police vehicle serve as a signal to other drivers and pedestrians that law enforcement is present, and they can help prevent accidents and keep everyone on the road safe. At the 2023 Police Fleet Conference (PFC), fleet professionals can engage in a discussion about the science behind police lighting and get a look at the technology available for law enforcement lights.
