Abstract: The present invention is a security shield for vehicles such as police vehicles or taxis. The security shield includes a shield body constructed to extend for substantially the entire width of the vehicle from the roof to a position below the backrest of the front seat a pair of legs mounted on either side of the shield body disposed over a corresponding lateral frame member of the vehicle and an adjustment screw disposed in each leg for raising the shield body from the lateral frame member toward the roof of the vehicle. In the preferred embodiment each leg includes a tapped hole for accommodation of the corresponding adjustment screw and each adjustment screw includes a substantially conical end adapted for high friction contact with the floor of the vehicle. In a further feature of the preferred embodiment, each leg is mounted on the shield body in an overlapping fashion having an overlap extent selectable during installation to control the lateral dimension of the security shield.

Other units of electronic equipment are disposed rearward of the radio or radio control unit with front panels disposed to be substantially parallel to the upraised hand. The ceiling console is preferably constructed of an upper spine and a plurality of lower shells whose attachment to the upper spine allows adjustment to the contour of the ceiling of the particular vehicle.
