Within the RCMP, Officer Safety is of utmost importance, maintaining a consistent working environment within the operational vehicles plays an important role in reaching this goal.

The Setina Partition Shields have already been deemed acceptable for space, quality and safety requirements for each vehicle type

To maintain consistency in the fleet for both ease of installation and officer safety, purchasing the Setina manufactured Partition Shields is required. Delivery Date: Above-mentioned
