Police Cars With A Prisoner Partition

By Leticia Jensen


A prisoner partition is a feature that is most often seen in vehicles that are used for policing purposes. They can be placed in many different kinds of vehicles, as the police have different types of vehicles. They have cars specially made for fast responses and cars that are just for general transportation. Makes of police vehicles include Ford, BMW and Toyota.

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.

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.

There are more patrol cars than response vehicles at each station. These are the cars that the officers use when they need to go out and collect statements and do other tasks. Nowadays, vehicles are more often used as a form of transport for patrolling, whereas before, policemen used to be on foot. Some places, though, are keeping more officers out of their cars so that they are publicly more visible.

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.
