Police Ford Interceptor VS All Rounds: Ballistic Test of Bulletproof Armament

Ford's Police Interceptor Sedan and Utility customers will now have the option of armor-piercing bullet protection for even greater levels of officer safety. These are the first police vehicles available from the factory with panels that can guard against armor-piercing .30 caliber rifle rounds.

The armor panels are inside the front doors and don't change the vehicle's exterior appearance. They use a similar combination of a ceramic plate and aramid fabric as Ford's currently optional door protection, which can handle handgun rounds and non-armor piercing bullets up to .30 caliber. For this stronger application, the Blue Oval changes some things like using a tighter weave for the fabric. The plates add more than 80 pounds to each door.

Ford will open orders for the armor-piercing bullet protection on March 15. He estimates the price "in the $1,000 range" but said costs can vary depending on the size of a police force's order. The Blue Oval also offers its current armored door panels as a retrofit option for the vehicles too.
