And the officers are not happy.\n\n[in_content post=\"194049\" alignment=\"align-left\" \/]\nOhio Police Chief Bans Tactical Vests<\/h2>\nFor officers, the Molle-style tactical vests aren't necessarily about stopping a bullet. The police force switched to a different type of vest for protection. However, the Molle vests Toledo used did go a long way in better supporting the weight of the officers' gear.\n\nOften law enforcement officers carry a wide array of gear. Gear can include magazines, hand cuffs, radios, flash lights, Tasers, and on and on. What's disturbing about this story, then, isn't that the chief changed the gear. That would be fine if he swapped out to a piece of kit that enabled officers to do their job better. What's troubling is that Chief Kral switched out the gear because it looked intimidating.\n\nUh, what?\n\n\"In my opinion, that looks too much like a military soldier,\" Kral said, according to 13abc.com<\/a>. He goes on to give a long hypothetical scenario where large, tactical-looking officers enter a home. There, a small child sees the men in tactical vests. \"There's a 5-year-old child there in the scene. And they see these guys, with all of this ... the Tasers, and everything else on the vest. It's intimidating, and the last thing we want to do is intimidate people.\"\n\nTaking away essential gear<\/a> from officers, because it looks intimidating? That seems unacceptable here. Officers have a tough enough job already, without taking away the kit they want and need.","post_title":"Ohio Police Chief Bans Tactical Vests for Officers Citing 'Intimidating' Look","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"police-chief-bans-tactical-vests","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:15:24","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:15:24","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/02\/11\/police-chief-bans-tactical-vests\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":133662,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2017-09-18 09:00:32","post_date_gmt":"2017-09-18 13:00:32","post_content":"\r\n\r\nU.S. Marshals serving the Western District of Virginia are getting some new head protection thanks to a contract the agency has awarded to\u00a0Texas-based body armor manufacturer Armor Express for its\u00a0Busch AMP-1 TP ballistic helmet<\/a>.\r\n

I fired the first round, and the rear plate was shaken loose from the carrier. I obviously did not have it in securely. A second shot rocked the target but somehow it remained standing. Inspection of the plates honestly surprised me. Just as with the 9mm and following rounds, there was no penetration or spalling. Close inspection of the plate showed that debris and round particles were trapped in the Kevlar covering the plate. There was only slight deformation on the back but nothing worth concern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As with any body armor that has been shot, I would not recommend putting this plate back into service after its abuse.

It was at this point that I decided to just skip the remaining traditional handgun rounds because the performance was going to be very predictable. The next round up would be 55-grain 5.56mm ball ammunition. I fired two rounds from the Daniel Defense MK19 DIII and struck center mass. Inspection showed the same results we saw with the 9mm. No penetration and no visible spalling. Next up I broke out my Mossberg 590A1 short barrel and fired two shots of 12-gauge 00 buck into the target. The dummy rocked but the results were the same. The only noticeable mark was from the wad skipping off the dummy. At this point, it was time to just go big. I picked up my Smith & Wesson 460 VXR, running Hornady 200-grain Hornady FTX. This would put a massive round with over 2.149-foot pounds of energy on the target at 2,200 fps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I fired the first round, and the rear plate was shaken loose from the carrier. I obviously did not have it in securely. A second shot rocked the target but somehow it remained standing. Inspection of the plates honestly surprised me. Just as with the 9mm and following rounds, there was no penetration or spalling. Close inspection of the plate showed that debris and round particles were trapped in the Kevlar covering the plate.

In the end, I was impressed with the performance and most importantly the lack of spalling.

Ohio Police Chief Bans Tactical Vests<\/h2>\nFor officers, the Molle-style tactical vests aren't necessarily about stopping a bullet. The police force switched to a different type of vest for protection. However, the Molle vests Toledo used did go a long way in better supporting the weight of the officers' gear.\n\nOften law enforcement officers carry a wide array of gear. Gear can include magazines, hand cuffs, radios, flash lights, Tasers, and on and on. What's disturbing about this story, then, isn't that the chief changed the gear. That would be fine if he swapped out to a piece of kit that enabled officers to do their job better. What's troubling is that Chief Kral switched out the gear because it looked intimidating.\n\nUh, what?\n\n\"In my opinion, that looks too much like a military soldier,\" Kral said, according to 13abc.com<\/a>. He goes on to give a long hypothetical scenario where large, tactical-looking officers enter a home. There, a small child sees the men in tactical vests. \"There's a 5-year-old child there in the scene. And they see these guys, with all of this ... the Tasers, and everything else on the vest.
