The cost. Bullet proof glass and car armor is extremely expensive. That is why police cars are normal sedans that are slightly modified to become a police car. Unlike fire trucks that are built just for that purpose, police departments do not have the budget to purchase a special police car because of the number of patrol cars each district needs. In 2011, Chevy may introduce a car that is only for the police departments. It will be custom made for their purpose. But no bullet proof glass. |

Very good question...
It costs too much. Usually Good quality is not inexpensive, and that rule certainly applies to this subject. However, I think it's a matter of where the district wants to spend their money. They seem to waste a lot of it. |

It's not really necessary. The vast majority of police officer shootings occur in situations when the officer(s) were out of the car and on foot, pursuing or facing down a suspect. That's why they wear protective armor (bullet-proof vests) instead. |

The cost to retrofit every car in department would bankrupt most police departments, even the U.S Army goes into battles without bullet proof glass on choppers.. |

I have seen some that do. But you are right in assuming they don't since most don't.
But I should tell you, the term bulletproof windows or bulletproof glass is not exactly accurate. I think the politically correct term is bullet resistant glass.
As for where I seen police car with bullet resistant glass is in Miami, there Vice squad use to have many undercover cars that were fitted with that type glass. |
