Not sure I understand your question, but this flasher is on all of our firetrucks. Has awesome patterns.
363107
Yes. Have one on my personal vehicle to get to the Fire Department for Calls. Works Great. Have it hooked to the accepted Red and White Warning Lights.

I believe this unit is AS ACCURATE as the ones the police use, if not MORE SO!

I have no problems detecting police . However if they don't have their radars on it will Not detect any even if they are parked on the road side awaiting you . They do however will surprise you with turning their radar on and off at random . Hope this helps you . If not maybe your detector is not functioning correctly ?

Absolutely. If you need to smell like the dumpster outside an Irish Pub, fill it with whiskey, toss it in the wash and let 'er rip. Hopefully, you don't get pulled over by a cop with a good sense of smell.

yes it absolutely will. unless they are super slick and they cant be that slick.

It does a very good job with distance when your traveling on highways, at times when my detector went off I saw nothing in the area but I slowed anyway and sure enough there was a patrol car just ahead. I'm guessing that the distance would vary with the amount of "gain" the police have there radar set at. I have had mine for over a year and it works great!!! You wont be disappointed

Yes it will. But most departments are starting to go to spread spectrum signals. That it will not be able to pick up.

it can pick well ahaed of the cops radar. what I like is the cops that think they are smart with instant on feature. this unit can pick up so far ahaed it catches teh cop pinging the cars ahead of you. I do not get speeding tickets wit this radar detector and have used this model for 10 years. yes i have sent in older units for updates. escort has a program for this

The holster is probably not strong enough for police work if that is what you are asking. It's nylon and measures 2 1/2 " and stretches some. I guess the answer is yes.

This may be considered a "gravity knife" in NY which is illegal. A police officer will flick it as hard as he can, and if it opens, you're going to jail.

yes it will but I wouldn't recommend it cuz you will get a ticket for it but in front its ok

no not with this radio, freq. are not the same. this is around 27 mhz. most police freq. now are around 800-900 mhz or some smaller towns are still on 150 mhz or 450 mhz

It doesn't detect "police near by when driving", it detects the speed radar that police use WHEN their radar is on. Police are well aware of people using these detectors and keep it off until you fly over the top of a hill and you fall into their speed trap, then they'll turn on their detector and you're done. Hopefully, your detector can detect that happening to the car(s) in front of you and you will know better then to speed as you drive through that area.

Depending on the state. Also by regular human nature, if u put them on a nice car police could get jealous and write u a ticket any way.

You should get a whistle. It won't stop crime, but it will let someone know one is being committed and then, maybe, they might find your body later.
