ths question is for anyone who is an armed guard/officer. Do you wear a bulletproof vest on duty? if so what brand is it, front/back or sides also, level of protection, stab plates, inserts, did your company provide it or did you have to buy it on your own? any particular reason you either started to wear a vest or do not wear a vest? what type of location do you work.
I do wear a vest, unknown brand, i bought it when i was ignorant about vest brands and types. It was about 300 bucks and is a level II with a level three insert on the front. It is only front and back. The vest is extrememly thick which sucks because it is literally hot as hell here in AZ in the summers and i work outside. I had to buy it myself. I work at a convience store located between three public housing projects and work for a proactive company meaning I get to stop and arrest all the dummies who shoplift right in front of me, many who have records or drugs on them so they will try anything to get away. Reason I bought one is my first two arrests ever were for illegally concealed hand-guns and I wasn't armed yet. scary stuff.
