The New York City Police Department displayed the latest bulletproof vest. The 3A standard patrol vest weighs 1LB/SQ (1LB is about 0.9kg).
Compared with the previous bulletproof vest, the new bulletproof vest is lighter, thinner and more suitable for wearing in the police uniform, so it is a life saving equipment for the police.
"The policy of the New York City Police Department is that patrol police and law enforcement police must wear bulletproof clothing," explained New York City Police Commissioner Shay at a press conference on the 17th. "Plainclothes policemen and detectives have the right to choose whether to wear bulletproof vests because they may not need to carry out law enforcement tasks, such as just going to the hospital for questioning."
But in the past, bulletproof vests were too heavy to wear in plain clothes, so many plainclothes policemen and detectives were reluctant to wear bulletproof vests. The latest bulletproof vest is thinner and can be easily worn inside the police uniform.
According to news, the New York City Police Force will be equipped with 550 bulletproof vests with the latest technology. The police station that first got the new bulletproof vest was the 102 branch of the municipal police (the police station where Liu Wenjian, a Chinese policeman who was shot dead in 2014, was located), with a total of 16 pieces. The new bulletproof vest will first be equipped for the police. The Municipal Police Bureau will decide whether to introduce more new bulletproof vests according to the feedback of users.
