    At most, something like a golf cart or ATV. Not a full size pickup with the windows up and AC blasting, both of which disconnect you from the environment.

        Nah, take the doors off. In this environment, you need to be acutely aware of your surroundings.

          The front doors are important to protect their computers and equipment, and the back doors are important for keeping arrested people in and safe.

            You don’t need a computer in the vehicle. Equipment can be locked to the vehicle or carried on their person. On a beach, if you need to arrest someone, you can walk them in handcuffs the couple dozen feet back to the road.

            I guarantee you every single person on that beach had a computer on them without this sort of protection. What equipment do police really need while driving around on a beach? A laptop at most?
