Description

As the agency reported it.

We are committed to improving officer safety and reducing in-the-line-of-duty deaths. We can provide our officers with ballistic vests, carriers, and trauma plates to increase the likelihood of survival during deadly force encounters. As we continue to respond to calls for assistance where violence is either anticipated or on-going, the need to reduce injuries and officer deaths is paramount. IT is essential that we consider improving officer safety while fulfilling our mission and providing public safety to all our citizens. Special emphasis will be incorporated in departmental training regarding the advantages of wearing body armor by non-uniformed officers while in performance of their duties. Evaluations will be made on an ongoing basis to see if any changes are required to meet our needs for this project.
