Middletown Introduces Prisoner Cage In Police Cruisers
The first Middletown police cruiser now operates with a metal cage in the rear to hold prisoners and require fewer officers for transport. A steel mesh screen protects the driver and outside locks deter escapes. The cage, built by Ptl. Melford Peyton, may lead to additional cages on three or four more cruisers and could serve as a temporary paddy wagon if needed.
