I'm back in Hawaii for work, and the Honolulu PD has quite the range of vehicles in their fleet.
I do have a question for anyone who knows though, why do the unmarked vehicles turn on their blue lights for no reason? I mean, they will sit/drive with the outside light bar lights on steady. Kinda defeats the purpose of being unmarked in my opinion.

The blue lights are usually a deterrent. Being unmarked is only useful when following or hiding, 99% of the rest of the time, you WANT people to know you're a police car, because it will keep people from committing crimes.

I think, I *think*, they have an employee option to use your own car. You get a stipend to deal with the wear and tear which may or may not cover the actual costs, but that's the employee's choice. They get a car that they like, want to spend all that time in and understand to high degree. Dunno where they get their mechanical support, if it's public or private. (I suppose the public mechanics would drool over some of the cool private vehicles I've seen.)

In Hawaii, the police are allowed to drive their own personal vehicles as their police cars.
