Police Cars With A Prisoner Partition

By Leticia Jensen


In every country, there are different sorts of police cars available for various services. Some of these cars are more ideal for responding to incidents, while others are mainly for the transport of police officers. The police use cars from various manufacturers, such as Ford, Toyota and BMW. A police vehicle can also be fitted with features that you would not usually see in a civilian vehicle, such as a prisoner partition.

There are two main uses for police vehicle partitions. The first is to safeguard the officers who will be operating the vehicle, and transporting the suspect, or criminal. The partitions are strong to prevent persons in the back from harming the officers in the front of the vehicle. A weapon cannot be passed through the barrier, nor can any body part such as a hand or foot.

During the search of the criminal or suspect, the policeman may have missed a hidden weapon. This poses a great threat to the officers who will be driving the vehicle, as they may be attacked. Someone who is frightened of the implications of what they have done may try to harm the officers in order to escape. However, partitions prevent this from happening.

Partitions in a vehicle can also be used to contain dogs that are used for police work. Dogs are a very important part of the police force, as they have skills that humans just can't match. For example, their noses are sharp, so they are used to sniff out bombs, drugs or people, and they are also capable of catching someone quicker than a human. Partitions may therefore be placed so that the dogs remain in the back half of the vehicle during transit.

Response vehicles are those that will move quickly to an emergency location. They will put on their sirens when they are responding to an incident, and will have flashing lights as well. The public then knows that a police car will be passing and that they need to pull out of way if possible. Response vehicles are capable of high speeds because they have usually been modified. One or two of these vehicles are available for each station.

Police officers need to travel to many locations to fulfill their duties, and therefore need transport. Patrol cars are used for this purpose. Patrols are also done in vehicles these days, however, some countries are starting to put officers on the street more often so that they can interact with the community. Patrol cars are not as speedy as the response vehicles.

There are also many other types of police vehicles. There are those used for enforcing traffic laws, called traffic cars, and those that are multipurpose. Multipurpose vehicles can perform as traffic, patrol or response cars. Surveillance cars go to crime scenes for investigative purposes, and there are also anti-riot vehicles.

Anti-riot vehicles may include mini-buses, 4x4s or vans that transport prisoners. They will often have caged windows and be able to eject tear gas. Any of the above types of police vehicles mentioned may be fitted with this partition.
