Abstract: An impact protection device for law enforcement and emergency vehicles includes a pair of bars. The bars are configured to couple to an undercarriage of a vehicle and extend in parallel such that endpoints of the bars are positioned proximate to opposing ends of a bumper of the vehicle. A plate is coupled to and extends between the endpoints. Each of a pair of shock absorbers is coupled to and extends linearly from a respective endpoint. A frame is coupled to and extends between the shock absorbers distal from the endpoints. A plurality of signs is coupled to the frame. The signs are configured to notify drivers proximate to the vehicle. The frame is configured to transfer a force from an impact to the frame through the shock absorbers to the plate. The plate is configured to substantially evenly transfer a reduced force from the impact to the bumper.
