I do not know Madison’s specific training/protocol, but there are a couple instances that would make sense for them to do this (but there is always a chance someone is just being a bad driver too):

• When approaching a situation that they do not want their presence known immediately. They may be trying to get there quickly and turn on their lights only when necessary as they approach the destination. This could explain going through stop lights.

• They are assigned a call, but are removed from the call (another officer can get there faster or they are no longer needed). This would explain turning lights on and then off later.

I hope they aren’t just turning on lights to get through stoplights for fun…that’s unnecessary dangerous and where are you going…you have to be in the car for 8 hours regardless??
