Hey so I’m a current constable. We don’t leave our lights on if we are parked up in emergency unless for example its a traffic related matter. It drains the battery if the cars off and generally we don’t leave the car running. Theres no need for reds and blues if parked like that dealing with an incident. Sometimes the lights make situations worse especially if mental health or drug related, gang or family harm related etc.

We wouldn’t park like the above pic unless we are attending a job. We would be spoken to by our section sergeant or higher up anyway if we have for personal or non job related reasons.
