The Automatic Injury Detection is designed to get help to them quicker if they re wounded. It s a plastic panel that is inserted into a law enforcement officer s vest. There are sensors in the panel that in an emergency can send vital information to first responders in seconds. When there s any type of piercing, a bullet, knife, shrapnel, anything that tears or pierces the plastic, it is detected and it automatically sends out a call for help, said John Bohlke with Select Engineering Services, the company that makes the product.
