(A) It is the policy of the town that the Town Marshal and all authorized deputies operate town owned vehicles with regard to the safety of all persons. Officers are reminded that state and local provisions will not protect the Town Marshal and/or authorized deputies from the consequences of their reckless disregard for the safety of others, if that should occur.
(B) The traffic law exemptions permitted under I.C. 9-21-17-20 are only allowable when the emergency vehicle is making use of audible or visual signals while responding to an emergency or when in pursuit of an actual or suspected violator of the law. Therefore, the officer shall obey all lawful traffic regulations while on routine patrol.
