Police Vehicle Threat Alert Systems

[CrustyOldGuy]

I know that several officers have been attacked while sitting in thier patrol vehicles. Has anyone one had the opportunity to see or use a device to alert a patrol officer sitting in a patrol vehicle about an incoming threat? I'd be interested in hearing about any details and experiences you may have as well as your thoughts regarding the need for such a device.

I remember hearing about them and seeing some stuff on the news about them AGES ago, but I've never actually seen or heard of any agencies using them.

Other than that, just keep your SA up instead of relying on technology, cause when you need it, it will fail.

Thank you for the information. The device I have in mind would set up an "umbrella" over the vehicle out to 50-100 ft and alert the officer of an approaching threat. Basically protect an officer while in car during a stop or while the officer is stopped to catch up on some paperwork/reports.
