Key distinction

Authorized police vehicles and emergency lighting

Off-duty Texas peace officers on Police Mobile Patrol assignments may utilize authorized marked police vehicles and red/blue emergency lighting when legally appropriate and consistent with their employing agency’s policies and Texas law. This is a key distinction from TXPF Security Mobile Patrol, which is performed by licensed unarmed security officers and does not provide police emergency response or law-enforcement authority.
