After months of research, New Orleans City Council has found a company in Florida that manufactures such a product.Councillors made a commitment to find such glass after an officer was shot dead in his patrol car in the city last August., reports the Times Picayune.The "one-way glass" blocks bullets from entering a vehicle from the outside, but allows officers "to return fire from the inside," according to a report submitted to the council last week.Wilson Howard, the council's assistant research director who headed up the search for the glass, said: "The return fire can move through the glass from the officer, and the glass will reseal itself."The council says it could cost about £8,000 per vehicle to fit the windscreen, the two front doors and the inside glass partition.The city has been recommended it fit-out at least 125 police cars.
