Different Types Of Law Enforcement Vehicles 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.

Police officers will usually search a suspect before they are put into the vehicle, but there is always the chance of them having a hidden knife or other object that could be used as a weapon. Someone who does not want to be taken to the police station may be capable of doing anything to escape from the vehicle. Partitions are therefore necessary to form a barrier between the suspect and police officers.

Police also often travel with dogs that are specially trained to help with police work. The excellent sense of smell that a dog has is used to help find various things, such as drugs or explosives, and dogs will also help to bring down an escaping suspect. These heroic dogs need to be transported safely to various areas, and partitions are therefore used so that they do not climb into the front of the vehicle.

Some cars used by the police are modified to reach higher speeds more quickly. These are the cars that respond to incidents, and are therefore called response vehicles. They are equipped with warning lights, and will also have audible warnings so that other vehicles let them pass as quickly as possible. They could have other unique features too, like powerful firearms. There are only a few of these cars per area.

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.

Windows that have been secured so they are unbreakable are features of anti-riot vehicles. Tear gas guns could be fitted to them as well. Mini-buses, 4x4s and other larger-type vehicles are ideal as anti-riot vans. This partition can be useful in any or all of the police cars mentioned, and are mainly fitted for safety and security purposes.
