“Newer lighting technology adjusts flash patterns and brightness, based on time of day and settings, to avoid blinding passing motorists when we are working a scene,” the police department said in a social media post.

The police department said it is also planning to roll out hybrid technology in 2022 to reduce fuel and operating costs.
