JOHOR BAHRU: Police multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) patrolmen nationwide are now provided with a new safety vest, ‘Reflective Bullet Proof Vest Level II With Anti Stab’ to avoid any threat and risk of injury while on duty.
Bukit Aman Crime Prevention and Community Safety Department director Datuk Zainal Abidin Kasim said 800 units were distributed under the first phase by giving priority to all the contingents.
He said the distribution was also based on the frequent risks and incidents of criminal cases that required MPV patrolmen to wear safety vests.
According to him, the Reflective Bullet Proof Vest Level II With Anti Stab is able to last for 10 years and provide ballistic protection against shots from nine millimetre (mm) calibre bullets.
