Do Law Enforcement Officers Jump Start Vehicles?
It used to be that if your vehicle was stranded and needed a jump start, if a police officer was available, he or she would give you a jump start with some booster cables stashed away in their patrol car. Now, with the advent of computers and other hi-tech gadgets inside most police vehicles, its not practical for police departments to use their vehicles to assist in jump starting a dead vehicle.
Police departments across the country are finding it practical and more convenient to carry a jump pack in the back of each squad car in lieu of booster cables. Using the jump pack in place of the patrol car's battery keeps the vehicle and its sensitive equipment free from possible harm.
Not Just For Law Enforcement
Law enforcement agencies aren't the only ones getting into the jump starting "business". Having these portable jump packs readily available is something that many universities are now doing as standard practice. According to an article in the Grand Valley Lanthorn, the Department of Public Safety at Grand Valley State University now offers "free jump-start services" to students whose vehicles get stranded on campus. Portable jump packs are especially convenient when trying to jump start a vehicle surrounded by other vehicles.
Jump Starting Vehicles Safely?
It's important for anyone jump starting vehicles to refer to the owners manual of the vehicle and the owners manual of the particular jump pack in use. Quick Cable has 14 different portable power packs in their Rescue line. From the convenient iStart® to the extreme-duty Rescue® 6000 for commercial and heavy-duty use.

That is so interesting that police now carry a jump pack in the back of their car. It makes sense that they don't want to harm any of the electronics in their car; however, I was unaware of jump packs. I suppose policemen have access to some pretty sweet equipment. This seems to be a great option to jump a dead car.
