Both the cop lights used on police vehicles; as well as handheld flashlights are crime deterrents. More and more cop lights are getting modified to better aid crime prevention, crime controlling, and crime investigation.
The cop lights in their hands, as well as those on their vehicles, are one of the means for identifying a cop. For ordinary people, or for those who are in need of help, the light of an approaching police vehicle is a very reassuring sight. It is an indication that help is at hand. If there are miscreants in the awaiting crowd, they generally tend to disappear at the sight of the approaching cop lights. The consistent improvements that are being made on police lights have increased the crime controlling potential of these cop lights. Today's light bars have on both sides what are known as alley lights. These lights illuminate both sides of the police vehicle as it moves through the street so that miscreants trying to take refuge in the darkness of the sides will getter better exposed because of its presence. The crime controlling potential of handheld cop lights is as much or more than that of the lights sported by police vehicles. Improving technology has substantially increased the light intensity of these lights and a flashlight can now be controlled to work as a searchlight, or a floodlight, or a spot light, as is required in the situation. The light beams of these lights have such precise focusing adjustments that the beam can be directed to pinpoint at a spot. These cop lights are of great help to night patrol police, especially when they have to search dark areas. Brightly lit cop lights are of great help for police during daytime as well, since a lot of police work could be around areas covered by wild growth or in underground cellars or storage chambers within a building itself. These brightly lit lights come in handy for searching inside a car or underneath a car as well. Variously modified cop lights are used for mob control also. A light that contains a pepper spray within it is one such. Focusing the rioters and using a pepper spray can be managed together with such a light. Then there are cop lights that can generate riotous colors and images, which can have a hallucinogenic effect on the viewer. This is also helpful in momentarily debilitating miscreants. Experiments are still being conducted in what are known as LED incapacitators. It is a non-lethal weapon like a flashlight which can produce lights of such wildly varying frequencies that the incapacitation of the target is of a very high degree. Other cop lights modifications are those that have within it a camera, metal detector, or audio and video recording facilities. These are more in use for crime investigation than for preventing crime, or for controlling crime at the scene. When such facilities are incorporated in the lights, carrying it around and using and storing it becomes easier. Gun mounting cop lights of various types are available in the market. The light attaches to the underside of the gun and produces a strong beam of light that can be correctly focused on the target. Lights are variously designed to suit a rifle, pistol, handgun, shotgun, or whatever the users find convenient to handle.
