The Need For Police Car Partition

By Leticia Jensen


Vehicles with the highest service provision are those which belong to the police department. A day cannot pass without a police vehicle on various roads reason being their numerous issues to attend to. These vehicles are more or less like the other public or private vehicles especially the outer view. The difference come in when a close observation is carried out inside. They have various partitions that make it unique. The police car partition is important given that the vehicles are used for various purposes.

The process of subdividing the cars is dependent on the use of the vehicles and the department from which it operates from. This is because there are some departments such are the patrol which require few sections while other departments require more sections as a result of their equipment as well as the number of parties that will use the vehicle.

In some occasions they are accompanied by their dogs whenever they are carrying out their missions. This is a reason calling for an extra section in the car in addition to the drivers and the passenger compartment. Absence of the police dog section means that whenever there is an operation involving the dogs, an extra vehicle will be required.

The different sections are separated by different materials. Some sections are separated using steel bars while others are separated using glass. In most cases the drivers compartment is separated using bullet proof glass for those in the crimes departments. This was introduced because there were cases of murder of officers from behind the vehicle through the glass separation. Most security vehicles have bought the idea to ensure that their own officers are safe.

One vehicle having different sections means that there must be a material or substance separating them of which in most cases glass and steel are used. Steel bars are used to separate some sections like between the passengers and the dog cages because the dogs do not raise serious alarm. The drivers who in most cases happen to be officers on duty need safety and that is why their compartments are separated with bulletproof glass.

The cargo section is not the only section for keeping items. There is also the trunk whose major use is to keep items which are obtained during an investigation. These items need maximum security and thus they cannot be mixed with other items. The reason for this is to avoid tampering with evidence or leads to a crime. This therefore is another reason why there are sections in the cars.

They are involved in investigations in one way or another and at any point in time they will need evidence. Any items that are collected during investigation need to be transported to the headquarters. This is the reason why a car needs a section referred to as the trunk for this purpose. This is an additional section though even the other vehicles have it. The only difference is the use.

The subdivision of these vehicles is very beneficial because in the early years there was need for more than one vehicle in any operation. The different vehicles were there to serve various purposes which at the moment are solved through partitioning of one car. The challenge has been resolved through innovation and creativity of some companies which introduced the idea.
