Can't beat flying doctors . Looking very smart.

Thanks!

Other heroes are flying firemen (and/or firewomen, as aircraft and flying boat are feminine in English, yes?):

There was also a P-38 for Police surveillance of bandits (to protect innocent people):

Thanks to like it with a smile.
Uh, maybe I made a mistake with a blue light for US police (French police has blue lights but in USA, there was only a siren in the movie Starsky & Hutch in my memory)
But checking with Google, it seems there was a red light sometimes: https://www.lacitedesnuages.be/fr/457-starsky-et-hutch-1976-ford-gran-torino-84042-1-24.html
Maybe blue in another state? (than California?)

Nice work Tophe !

Most police in the US these days use a combination of red and blue while fire departments use red and maybe white. I have seen a few vehicles use green also. Snow plows and tow trucks still use yellow. It can be confusing sometimes.

Thanks for this expert details (from inside USA)!
Ahem, Internet told me that "To Protect and to Serve" was a word of Los Angeles police only, at first, then some other polices used it. Maybe the moderators speaking of Blue Lights as an evidence are located in Europe, I have not checked.

My LAPD Spectrum SA-550 carries a shorter "To serve and Protect" claim, from a r/w JetRanger.

Thanks for directing me to your own Police twin-boomer, great! (https://www.whatifmodellers.com/index.php?topic=48986.60 )

That inspired me to draw a similar P-38 without "actual" blue light, thanks!

From memory here in Australia Police used to have blue lights, & Fire & Ambulance services had red lights.

Most, if not all, have now converted to blue-white-red[xxxxxx]red-white-blue light bars
