DOOR POPPER SYSTEM

One of the nice features on MPD K-9 Vehicles is the  door popper system.

If the K-9 Handler experiences trouble and is in need of backup from his partner. He or She can press a single  button ON a remote keypad on their utility belt. This button automatically opens the patrol car's rear door and allows the K-9 to exit the vehicle.
