re: Why do cops (without k9s) keep their vehicles running at all times?

Is it protocol to leave the vehicle running for lunch break or did they just not want their cars to warm up? Seems like a waste of fuel.
Yes it is protocol. The electronics inside take a while to get up and running again, and they must be ready to respond to a call immediately. If they were to leave the electronics on and turn the car off, it would kill their battery.

Really makes you wonder how any crime was ever solved before 1995.

You'd hate for someone to not get an inspection sticker ticket because of this. I find it a fiscally responsible policy. Hell, it's only several thousands of dollars per unit per year to keep them running so whatever.

Like taking a turn without a blinker on.
