“Upgrading all police vests to the Level III, maximum
coverage vest is a good thing and we are grateful to City Council
Speaker Christine Quinn for shepherding this important funding
need through City Hall. We are anxious to see the new vests reach
our members on the street where they are sorely needed. The PBA
is seeking as part of our next contract, a program that will replace
vests when their warranties expire. It will ensure that our members
have the most effective vests and the best practical protection
against the dangers that we face every day.”
