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.
Partitions can be placed in a police vehicle for various reasons. The most obvious perhaps is to separate the drivers of the vehicle from the person or persons whom have been collected for breaking the law. Partitions are therefore used for safety purposes, as the officers who are in the vehicle need to be protected. The barrier will ensure that no weapon can be used to harm them, and will not allow the prisoners to reach the officers in any way.
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.
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.
A vehicle used by the police to respond to emergencies is often capable of faster speeds than others, and will have sirens and lights to warn road users to move out of the way. Response vehicles may have been modified so that they have a greater speed, and they may have special equipment, such as large firearms. There is often only one of these cars per 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.
Cars for riots are specially equipped. They are made to be as indestructible as possible, and may carry tear gas ejectors. They can be mini-buses, vans or 4x4s. This kind of partition can be installed in most vehicles, and any of the different kinds of police cars may be fitted with one.
