“Taken together, the sirens of the Police Department provide a remarkable — as well as cacophonous — audio record of policing today.

Every time you hear that distinct and invasive wail, which may not technically be a wail, chances are the police officer behind it has made a deliberate, even aesthetic choice.

The decision is wholly subjective; there are no guidelines. Officers are simply told to mix the sirens up.

    LOL, and here I thought all of those were different vehicles...like, ambulances, fire trucks. Never would have guessed that it's just a bunch of police, mashing buttons!

    The photo is excellent! :happy:
