First of all you want to deescalate things, a police car calms everyone down and makes clear that consequences are coming. You make clear you are a real agent, no excuses, you have to surrender to it. Most professional criminals are not idiots, and prefer hands up than get longer sentences for fighting back. And the marked car makes clear that time has come.

Then they aren’t even aways MANNED!
A police car parked empty is a big big deterrent, and a big distraction. You can use it both to “show the flag” and appear more present, or use it to look “stupidly obvious” while the agents are actually walking around without uniform. Sometimes you just need the marked cars to show a marked car.

It serves a purpose. When it doesn’t, they use unmarked cars.

It helps prevent crime, and sometimes you want the police presence known. Like if you call 911 for help with a burglary or medical condition.them showing up in clearly marked cars flashing lights is what you need.

The unmarked ones are usually used for major busts of suspected criminals or things like speed traps
