Chicago, Illinois Police
The Chicago Police Department is the second largest police department in the us, after the New York City NY Police Dept. The Chicago Police Department is the only police department in the state of Illinois using all blue lights for their police vehicles. The Chicago Police units assigned to the airport division, as well as the motorcycle escort units, have red and blue lights in order to comply with federal laws that require emergency vehicles that operate on airport airfields must have red emergency lights. All other Chicago Police vehicles have blue emergency lights facing forwards, and have only a small red flashing light or lights facing the rear along with the other blue lights. The Chicago Police have a unique name for their prisoner transport trucks: squadrols . They use the squadrols  to transport criminals and transport dead bodies to the morgue.
