Police officers are supposed to follow the same rules as the rest of the drivers on the road *unless* they have their lights/sirens on.
At that point, it is up to the police officer to judge, based on the situation and road conditions, what a safe speed is (in other words, they don't have a speed limit at that point, other than their own judgment.)
Of course, the old saying goes "You may out run the cop, but you can't out run motorola"

∙ 15y agoWhen traveling to an emergency (lights on or off) the police can go as fast as it is justified, safe and prudent to do so. Officers must follow the same rules of the road as everyone else and are held responsible for their actions behind the wheel of the motor vehicle they are in control of. Lights and sirens are there to warn traffic, not to give license to dangerous driving.
