Introduction Of Police Car Partition

By Leticia Jensen


When police car partition is mentioned deferment people may have different interpretation but its actual meaning is the subdivision of the police car into various sections. The vehicles usually have four sections while others have even more. There are various reasoned that called for this decision and its implementation has been a success. It has been adopted by various departments in almost all parts of the world. There is also the possibility that in the future it will be almost one hundred percent.

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.

Some cars have sections for the police dogs. This is mostly for the department that does investigation as well as those that handle criminals. There is no point in time that the dogs will share a car partition with the police who accompany them. This therefore calls for an extra cabin in these vehicles for the dogs. The cabin is designed to suit its purpose.

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.

The only challenge is that some units will tend to have few vehicles because they do not see the benefit of acquiring more. This is a disadvantage because in case of crisis there will be shortage of transport facilities and they will be forced to outsource those that have the normal sections and the costs will be high as well.

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.
