Police lights can be mounted anywhere on a vehicle.
Roof mounted police lights are what make the police conspicuous and make them kings of the road. While roof is the best place to mount lights on a police vehicle, police lights can be mounted pretty much everywhere on a vehicle.
Large light bars that offer blue, red, amber, or white color choices are the more popular police lights used for roof mounting. Light bars may contain speakers, rotators, reflectors, light sticks for traffic guidance, and other control mechanisms that improve their functionality. These police lights may be rectangular or V shaped, and manufacturers offer plenty of size and configuration choices for light bars.
Though more and more departments prefer light bars these days for roof mounting, beacons also do a good job as roof mounted police lights. For about half a century, from the middle to the end of the 20th century, single or double beacons were used for roof mounting as police lights. A beacon may be round or in the shape of a teardrop. Though the teardrop pattern is more prevalent in decorative lights, teardrop beacons are the choice of many as police lights.
Both beacons and light bars may be kept raised on the roof, or may be installed completely flat on the roof in a way that it is rendered practically invisible from a distance. The flat option is used by vehicles for which stealth factor is important and so need to make their police lights as inconspicuous as possible. Even those who have police lights permanently mounted on their vehicles may not always have it on the roof. Some vehicles have permanent warning lights installed on the rear when what they require is warning other vehicles coming from the back. These are used by vehicles that are going slower than the other vehicles on the road. Similarly, police lights are sometimes fixed on the front to provide directional lighting to other vehicles.
Vehicles that are into undercover operations avoid roof mounting of their police lights. On such vehicles police lights may be mounted on the dash, deck, visor, grille, front or rear bumper, windshield, or window. Police lights can even be mounted near the mirror or on the license plate. Police lights in these different places can be mounted permanently by connecting it to the electrical system of the vehicle, or can be plugged temporarily into the cigarette adapter.
Besides those in undercover operations, volunteer firefighters, rescue workers, or doctors on emergency call, who does not require to have warning lights installed permanently on their vehicles, prefer to have police lights with detachable mounts on the inside of the vehicle. L brackets or magnetic mounts are used for fixing these temporary police lights, which can be shifted to another part of the vehicle, or to another vehicle, when necessary.
Police lights that are mounted inside the vehicle, on the dash, deck, or beneath the sun visor, may be for warning other vehicles, or for lighting the inside of the vehicle. Lighting the interior is necessary when a police vehicle is carrying suspects or miscreants. Depending on the direction on which the user wants these lights to be beamed, shields are used to direct the light and prevent its reflection in inconvenient angles.
