Not sure about England/Wales but certainly up here using the blue lights to go to incidents you need to have passed a full driving course either standard (roughly equivalent to advanced driver status) or advanced (very demanding high speed course for traffic or surveillance drivers)
You can drive Police cars without those courses and can use blue lights to stop vehicles but if you break the rules you will more than likely find yourself out of a job, as more than a couple of cops have found out to their cost that I know of.
