DriverSHIELDS for Police Vehicle Driver Protection
The Problem
Risk of abuse and violence against police officers has long been an occupational hazard. Changing behaviour patterns, in particular through drink and drugs, has increased that risk.
The Solution
DriverShields are ideal for single crewed vehicles where the driver may be vulnerable to physical abuse or attack.
A pair of shields fitted to driver and front passenger seats creates a separate rear 'cell' which holds a detainee safely, without loss of audio/visual contact. In an emergency an officer is given a safe facility in which to call for back-up.
The tough clear PETg /polycarbonate from which our shields are made has been tested for stabbing by knife and will absorb 'hard body impact' without breaking.
The inertia resulting from a serious front impact on a vehicle could propel a rear seat occupant over the driver causing injury to both. The intervention of a shield would limit the effects of inertia containing the occupant in the rear compartment.
You cannot put a price on a police officer’s life
