[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a DC thing with MPD. You would think I'd be used to it by now but I'm always doing double takes when I see the lights and wondering if I should pull over. [/quote] It has been DC's police department (MPD's) policy for years to drive with lights on to show a visible presence. It is disconcerting, because it can be hard to tell if an officer just has the lights on (per department policy), or is responding silently to a call (like a couple of PPs have described). I wish they'd drop the lights-on policy - I don't think it has made any measurable difference in neighborhoods, and it just confuses drivers. [/quote] It got your attention. It made you redirect your focus. That's a good thing. DC's crime rate is the lowest it's been in decades--simmer down.[/quote]
