TERMS AND DEFINITIONS FOR POLICE PATROL CARS - LAW ENFORCEMENT STANDARDS PROGRAM

This glossary is designed to assist law enforcement agencies in the selection and procurement of police vehicles by improving communications between the users and the producers of the vehicles. The terms and definitions have been selected on the basis of usefulness to those responsible for the selection, procurement, and use of law enforcement vehicles. For this reason, not all automotive vehicle terminology is included. The primary criterion for each definition is that it be clear and useful to law enforcement agencies. Definitions are given for vehicle components and equipment which affect functional performance for law enforcement activities. Wherever appropriate, definitions provided by generally recognized sources are used.
