Just wondering if on the state and local level how common it is for agencies to issue stab vests.

But, stab vests are only good for the area that they cover. The last video of an incident that I saw was bad enough. In the neck and upper back. It would not have protected neck area and part of upper back.

EDIT: Kids here like to try and sharpen their tooth brushes, nobody has been hurt yet...

Your not allow to purchase your own because it is not issued by the state and therefore in legality issues should something happen while you are wearing it the state can turn around and say well it wasnt issued by us so we do not have to cover you....or something like that MY opinion should we get issued them in NYS I would not wear one. Its just all the more reasons for the Cons to stab your *SS in the face or jugular.Incarceration is and in itself a form of punishment

I'm more afraid of being nothing, than I am of being hurt
My views are in no way associated with the views of NYS or DOCS and anything that may seem that way is purely coincidental

Every Correction Officer nation wide should be afforded the opportunity to wear this vest while on duty.

Originally posted by Joe159 View PostBack in the day, when I worked Penn Dept of Corrections we were issued vests. They kind of came and went away. Now, I understand they are issued and required uniform wear in PA corrections (state level).
Down side to showing the neutral arbitrator how hazardous our profession is was the granting of the Commonwealths request to make vest wearing mandatory.
They got that, along with something they had not planned on. They have to replace each vest at the end of the warranty period, which is 5 years. The vast majority of vests issued were/are outside this and they have had to purchase newer ones that provide better coverage.

The boots kansas CO's are issued are really nice. they feel like you don't have a thing on your feet. They are hard to get on and off though.There are 2 kinds of Sheepdogs.
Those that keep the wolves away from the herd- Police Officers
And those that keep the wolves on the other side of the fence-
Corrections Officers.
