At 9:00 the RUMBLER would come in handy. The officer needs to use the audible siren with the lights and not just the lights to get through traffic. People are looking down at their cell phones, changing the radio station etc. they're really not paying attention. Our units have the "rumbler" system which makes a huge difference in getting through traffic.

Visibility is the reason. A simple lighting setup is also more noticeable and less distracting than other lighting arrangements.

[@epitacia]

I believe that the white CHP livery indicates they are a supervisor or commercial vehicle enforcement.

[@CallMeAhSirHKP]

Unmarked vehicles indicate that they are a high ranking officer. Polar bears are primary collision factor units, and slicktop and hardtop are normal patrol

[@tfivegames]

No special reason, just whatever the officer decided to drive that day. Unmarked can be any range of CHP, iy can be fatal accident team, investigations, or whatnot. The white/black cars are just whoever wants to drive it that day. Commercial enforcement are the pickups with the white boxes on the back.
