Directive 3.4 - Transport Equipment
3.4.1 Vehicle Safety Barriers
The Police Department has equipped most marked patrol vehicles for prisoner transportation.
The exceptions to this policy are marked patrol vehicles used for specialized purposes (i.e. –
canine patrol vehicle). Each vehicle used for prisoner transportation has a safety barrier
constructed of clear plastic and steel that separates the driver’s compartment from the rear
seating area where prisoners are placed during transportation.
3.4.2 Rear Compartment Modification
To minimize opportunities for escape and/or unauthorized exit, all marked police vehicles used
for prisoner transportation have either the capability to disengage the inside door and window
controls for the rear compartment or have special panels with no door handles or window
controls.
