yes you can put the graphics on as long as it doesn't say police, i'm sure you can still have the blue lights on top as long as you use them for off-road use only

do not quote me on this, however i have always been led to assume
no, you are not allowed to write POLICE on the vehicle..
but yes you can put police graphics on the vehicle, providing they are not reflective
could be wrong though

No, have to be covered up at the very least.
As for the graphics, if it looks remotely like a Police vehicle, you can expect hassle at some point.

What if it only said POLITE on the side of the car and the siren was an ice cream van jingle and the flashing lights were more of a purple?

One of my uncles mates bought an ex police BMW bike and it still had reflective graphics on the farings, so he got some stickers that said 'POLITE' hahaha.
Used to really annoy people.

there are plenty of ex-police cars which are bought by enthusiasts and have covers on the roof lights and magnetic police signs for show use only.
as mentioned, it's ok so long as 'police' isn't on the graphic.
