The barriers can also be used at crime scenes and accident scenes so as to keep away crowds of people from interfering with police and rescue operations. The barriers are usually very strong and durable and cannot be broken or cut easily. This is because they have a wire mesh that is put between the pieces of aluminum where this acts as a grinder. After the mesh and aluminum are placed they are secured with stainless steel. This shows that the barriers are strong and one can use them without fear.
