The Purpose Of A Prisoner Partition In Police Vehicles

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.

The police will do all they can to ensure that a criminal climbs into the vehicle unarmed, however, sometimes a knife or other sharp object is overlooked during the body search. The criminal may feel the need to get away from the officers, and may therefore try to use the weapon. The outcome of an attack on an officer whilst he or she is driving is not good. This is why partitions are secured into police vehicles.

When the police need to drive with their dogs, cars with partitions are most often used. The partitions will keep the dogs in the rear of the vehicle so that they can travel safely. Police dogs are well-trained animals that are capable of things that humans can't do. Their great sense of smell is one of their best traits for police work, and they are also faster than a human police officer.

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.

Patrol cars are more readily available, and their main purpose is to transport police officers to the locations where they need to be for their policing duties. Policemen do not patrol on foot as much anymore, but use patrol cars instead. However, some countries are trying to get their officers to spend less time in their vehicles so that they can interact more with the public.

Further types of police vehicles include the traffic car, surveillance car, unmarked car, multipurpose car and the anti-riot vehicle. Traffic cars are used to enforce traffic laws, while surveillance vehicles are used to investigate a criminal offense. Multipurpose cars may fulfill the role of patrol, traffic or response 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.
