The vehicles used in the conduct of business of the private security firm within the City shall not be the same color nor sufficiently similar in appearance that a reasonable person could confuse them with vehicles used by the uniform patrol division of any law enforcement agency authorized by the State of Kansas to operate within the City of Topeka. Once determined, the color and appearance of such vehicles shall not be changed except by mutual agreement between the Chief of Police and the private security firm. In the event the private security firm and the Chief of Police cannot agree, the matter will be submitted to the City Manager, whose decision shall be binding on the Chief of Police and private security firm. While such vehicles may be equipped with red and/or blue emergency lights or sirens, it shall be unlawful to operate such lights or sirens on the streets and highways inside the City limits while the vehicle is in motion. Additionally, no insignias shall be affixed to the sides thereof which are similar in appearance to or which a reasonable person could confuse with that affixed to the sides of the vehicles used by the City. (Ord. 19370 § 20, 3-23-10. Code 1995 § 30-398.)
