Red light P on tach

OK I have been forgetting to ask this since I got the bike 4 months ago. My bike is an ex-police bike and on the tach is a red lite up P. What is it for or should I be worried?

On my FLHTP the P lights up unless I have the red Pursuit switch flipped all the way to the right. My Aux lights are controlled by a rocker switch on the fairing.

For me, it is quite annoying, primarily at night.

As others stated, the P is for the pursuit light switch. When "civilianized", the red and blue pursuit lenses on my FLHP were swapped out with clear spots. The "wig-wag" relay was removed and now the Pursuit switch is what turns my spots on and off. They can be used with both the low and high beam headlight on. I leave them on all the time, but like being able to flash them with the Pursuit switch on the handlebar if I want to get someone's attention, or signal to a trucker that they can move into the lane in front of me. The HD service guy called the spots "Passing" lights, so to me the red P lets me know that my passiing/spots are on. I like the visual reminder, but have done little riding at night. I can see how that might be a little distracting.
