In law enforcement, no two days are exactly alike. Because police officers never know the weapons or the perpetrators they may come up against, wearing personal protection might mean the difference between walking away from a criminal assault or…not.
Statistics have consistently shown that wearing personal body armor reduces the chance of bodily injury or death caused by physical, ballistic, stab and slash attacks. Truly, personal body armor has become the most important part of the law enforcement officer’s uniform – a key component in dressing for survival. And, when that personal body armor is made utilizing Kevlar® performance technology, it provides exceptional performance, superior strength and extreme flexibility, enhancing the freedom of movement and increasing the confidence of those who wear it.
That’s because when a bullet hits a vest made of DuPont™ Kevlar®, the fabric actually absorbs the energy of the bullet along the molecules of each fiber, “catching” it in a multi-layer web of woven fabrics. These engaged fibers absorb and disperse the energy of the impact to other fibers in the weave and help reduce the amount of transferred energy that causes blunt trauma. Police officers have relied on the superior bullet-stopping power of Kevlar® for more than 30 years.
