You can hear a police vehicle due to the high power police sirens now available.
Warning lights are great. They can convey so much and we rarely ignore them. However, emergency warning lights are only useful in situations where vehicles can be seen. Police sirens are the audible signal they have to inform us of an emergency.
If you have ever had the misfortune to be near a police vehicle with full lights flashing and siren blasting then you don’t need me to tell you how effective both are. We often hear the Police sirens long before we are in direct eye line view of the vehicle. The public has an advance warning of a police vehicle in the neighborhood because we can hear the siren. A police vehicle could be 3 blocks away but you wouldn’t know it was there if the Police sirens weren’t used.
Visual and audible warnings are used in many places and often at the same time. Fire alarm systems or burglar alarm systems have an audible warning and flashing lights. Visual without audible is not a lot of use. If you are visually impaired, you won’t see a flashing light but you will hear Police sirens. Similarly, if you are deaf, the high-powered flashing lights on a police vehicle will get your attention because the siren won’t. Any type of emergency response vehicle will have a siren and the flashing bank of lights and they will use both when responding to 911 calls.
A police vehicle that is dispatched to attend a scene will employ the use of lights and Police sirens to alert road users of their approach. The only way a police vehicle can clear space ahead on the highway is to warn drivers they are behind them and need to pass. Different weather conditions mean visibility isn’t always good so an audible warning of the vehicles approach is a must. Some lights on police vehicles are difficult to see in very bright sunlight and this is another reason the Police sirens are very useful on the vehicle.
The Police sirens themselves can be fitted and used as stand alone audible warnings. However many of the sirens can be fitted and used with a PA system and even be connected to a CB radio. The more options an officer has with their Police sirens the better. A multi purpose unit that can be used to make public announcements is far more use to an officer. The PA system could be used in crowd control situations in conjunction with the siren, giving the officer more choice on how to handle a situation.
New sirens are being tested currently by some law enforcement agencies. These new Police sirens not only give a loud audible sound but they have an extremely low tone. This low tone sends vibrations through a targeted vehicle to get the attention of the driver and other occupants. These new kinds of Police sirens will be readily available should the tests prove to be a success. Anything that helps officers get to where they need to be quickly is a must and the high-powered Police sirens assist them to do just that.
