PATROL LIGHTING

Residents may notice the Lyons Police Department’s new patrol vehicle operating with dim, steady-burning red and blue lights while conducting routine patrols.

The vehicle is equipped with a Patrol Light mode, which allows portions of the emergency lighting system to remain steadily illuminated at a reduced intensity. This mode is used to increase the visibility and identification of the patrol vehicle, particularly during nighttime patrol.

The activation of these steady-burning Patrol Lights does not indicate a traffic stop or emergency response. Motorists do not need to pull over or yield solely because these lights are illuminated.

When the Town Marshal is initiating a traffic stop or otherwise operating with emergency equipment activated, the vehicle will display its normal bright, flashing emergency light patterns. The difference between the two modes should be readily apparent.

The department may utilize Patrol Light mode during routine patrol as an additional means of maintaining a visible law enforcement presence within the Town of Lyons.
