What colored lights are used for what varies by state. Typically, you need a permit to display red or blue lights on your vehicle (and, in some states, green, as well). Red flashing strobes can be used on the back of a vehicle without it being an emergency vehicle, only so long as they flash simultaneously - this is why taillight flasher units which alternate between the brake lights and reverse lamp concurrently on both sides are legal for non-emergency vehicles.

Can a private citizen purchase a new police vehicle?
It depends on what you mean by police vehicle. A vehicle with blue (or red depending on the locality) lights, a siren, and police markings? No, that would be illegal, at least in my state, and probably all others. In Tennessee, it's illegal to have blue lights or any police insignia on a vehicle unless it's an authorized law enforcement vehicle. You can however, purchase a vehicle with the same engine, suspension, and other specs as a police vehicle. A friend of mine bought a police spec vehicle a couple of years ago with everything except the blue lights and police insignia.
Is it illegal to have a police ATV?
In most (if not all) states, it's illegal for a private citizen to have a vehicle that marked as an official vehicle - regardless of whether it's a police ATV or a water department car. This is why used police cars are painted over (usually badly) and have the lights/sirens removed before being sold. It's not illegal to have the same model of ATV as the police do, as long as it isn't marked to impersonate a police vehicle.
