About this coloring page
A patrol car drives along a road with a two-part light bar on its roof. It has two side windows, bumper lines at the front and back, and a five-pointed star badge sitting low between the two wheels.
The star is the shape kids notice first, and its five points are a gentle challenge for small hands. Everything else is broad and open, so the page balances one careful spot with plenty of easy coloring.
Color ideas
- Color one half of the roof light red and the other half blue.
- Try a black-and-white paint job: black on the front and back ends, white in the middle around the doors.
- Make the star badge gold or bright yellow so it shines against the door.
Did you know?
- In many parts of the United States, police car lights flash red and blue so other drivers notice them and move out of the way.
- A star-shaped badge is a long-standing symbol of sheriffs, while many police officers wear a shield-shaped badge.
- The 911 emergency phone number was first used in the United States in 1968.
