Police use
In
Armed Response Vehicles and most station vans carry them. Within most forces an officer can only use such a tool once they have attended a course receiving training in the safe handling and operational use.[2] Also, most forces insist that the user wears gloves to cushion the user's hands from the shock created when a door is struck with the ram.[2]
