Bulletproof windshields: What's the real cost? After Trooper Chad Walker was shot through his windshield Friday, people are looking for a way to make our troopers safer. Are bulletproof windshields an answer? Author: Andrew Moore Updated: 9:36 PM CDT April 1, 2021 TEXAS, USA — Texas Comptroller Glenn Hegar sent out a tweet Tuesday about bulletproof windshields for Texas Department of Public Safety troopers. "It would cost less than half a million dollars to replace @TxDPS patrol car windshields with a bullet-resistant product. I hope lawmakers are able to find a way to address that," the tweet states. Texas DPS Officers Association President Richard Jankovsky told 6 News he was also getting questioned on that topic the same day.
