offers a piece on the new Philadelphia Police patrol cars equipped with
bulletproof windows.
PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) --
Philadelphia police have 150 new patrol cars on the way with a feature that no
other major municipality has: bulletproof windows.
The vehicles have ballistic
shields affixed to the front door panels and what is dubbed 'transparent armor'
backstops a large portion of the original equipment glass in the front windows.
It all makes this modified
car resistant to pistol and shotgun ammunition.
"It is cutting edge in
the sense that it provides protection for police officers seated in the vehicle
from gunfire," said Commissioner Richard Ross.
