Emergency vehicles: blue warning lights.

Under existing law, specified peace officers, including, but not limited to, police officers, members of the University of California Police Department, and members of the California National Guard, may, in the performance of the officers' duties, display a specified blue warning light on their emergency vehicles. This bill additionally would authorize probation officers, in the performance of their duties, to display a specified blue warning light on their emergency vehicles. The bill would require a probation officer to complete an emergency vehicle operations course certified by the Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training before he or she may operate a vehicle with a blue warning light.
