The Cellar / Paint Colors in the Parking Lot.

I've seen motorcycle cops do that high-speed dance. Always much faster than traffic.

DC Police cars are all white.I think NYC ones are as well. LA still has the black & whites, I believe. The latter two account for a lot of cop cars in media, and the former is my personal experience. So I still see a lot of white on the cop cars.

Yes white roof with black numbers for tracking from the air. LA has something like 40 choppers.
DC cruisers are white as a result of one decision by somebody, same with any large department.
The smaller suburban departments have a lot of this sort of thing.
I saw one the POLICE on the side was the same color as the car but it was matte finish instead of shiny.
Guess they want you to know it's a cop when you get close enough to piss on it.

Many police department have implemented black cars to be less obvious. Many have the word "police" in some kind of paint that can only be seen when the light hits it just right.

Even flashing light bars are now hidden or minimized so that one does not realize is it a police car. Colors, letter, and shapes selected to not be so obvious - until they light up with many flashing colors (red, orange, white, and blue).

Some Jersey State cops suspended or fired (never knew which) for routinely drag racing on the Garden State Parkway. In cars that were not entirely obvious.

Police in pink uniforms. Then we can always find a policeman when we need one. That solves a crime problem.
