In the United States, it is the iconic, instant identifiable recognition of a police vehicle. In the past, most police units&#8217; car doors and roofs were painted white, while black was painted on the trunk, front fenders, hood, and rear quarter panels. With the production of quality vehicle wrap and vinyl graphics, police have the economic option to purchase an all black.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_da82ea-09, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_da82ea-09[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_da82ea-09\"]{font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_da82ea-09 mark, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_da82ea-09[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_da82ea-09\"] mark{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<h2 class=\"kt-adv-heading_da82ea-09 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_da82ea-09\">Name of the Office<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If the most prominent feature in the design of a law enforcement vehicle is the name of the authority. It is most frequently paired with an authority emblem &#8211; see # 3 below. The designation of the authority is written out on the vehicle in a clearly recognizable manner for the public and other law enforcement officials to instantly identify or respond to the emergency<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_4ca6c5-0f, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_4ca6c5-0f[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_4ca6c5-0f\"]{font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_4ca6c5-0f mark, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_4ca6c5-0f[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_4ca6c5-0f\"] mark{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<h2 class=\"kt-adv-heading_4ca6c5-0f wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_4ca6c5-0f\">Mark of Authority<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A sign of authority may take the form of a shield, star, shoulder patch or state seal. A police badge, shield or star is perhaps the most prominent and identifiable symbol of policing around. Practically, officers wear badges as a way to distinguish who they are and who they work for.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_dd9dc6-18, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_dd9dc6-18[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_dd9dc6-18\"]{font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_dd9dc6-18 mark, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_dd9dc6-18[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_dd9dc6-18\"] mark{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<h2 class=\"kt-adv-heading_dd9dc6-18 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_dd9dc6-18\">The Town (or Jurisdiction)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Both identified police cars have designation of jurisdiction. Focus is generally placed on the name of the authority for secondary jurisdiction. The name of the authority is usually greater than the name of the jurisdiction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The name of the jurisdiction must be simple and legible. It is often displayed in the same format (font and colors) as the name of the authority, but in a smaller scale. Specialized fonts and styles representing the region, skyline or city may also be presented. The focus should always be on legibility over style.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_db61ce-c7, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_db61ce-c7[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_db61ce-c7\"]{font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_db61ce-c7 mark, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_db61ce-c7[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_db61ce-c7\"] mark{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<h2 class=\"kt-adv-heading_db61ce-c7 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_db61ce-c7\">911 or Non-Emergency<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It is definitely not a necessity to add a 911 or non-emergency website address. But it is a good service to inform the public that help is still only a 911 call away. The &#8220;9-1-1&#8221; three-digit telephone number has been identified as the &#8220;Universal Emergency Number,&#8221; to request emergency assistance for people across the United States. It is meant as a national telephone number and provides the emergency assistance (PSAP).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ask us at Lettering Express for window tinting,\u00a0<a href=\"\/vehicle-wraps\/vehicle-branding\/\">vehicle wrap and customized wraps in OKC<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Local police forces have their discretion to decide which graphics to use on their vehicles for identification, how big to display them, and where to position them on the car.
