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.

One of the sections that most of their cars have is the trunk which other public and privately owned vehicles also have. There is a difference though when it comes to the use. In most cases the trunk is like a safe whereby the investigation evidence is kept in all the operations. Given that they always carry out investigations, their cars need trunks to facilitate this as well as to ensure that the evidence is not tampered with.

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 very important reason for partitions is because of the amount of cargo that these vehicles always carry. There are various tools that the officers need for their smooth operation and need to be kept in a different section from the passengers. The guns and bullets are examples of these types of equipment. They are kept in a tool box in the cargo cabinet for easy access.

It has been incorporate and implemented in most countries and is proving to be a life saver not only to the officers themselves but also to the common citizens. It increases the willingness of some officers to the call of duty given that their security is improved.

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 units should always go for the vehicles with the number of sections suitable for them. It is clear that this has been taken seriously and has resulted to lots of benefits. We also know the reasons why this is a requirement mostly for the police and not any other functional body.
