"Fit-Related Requirement to Receive Bulletproof Vest Partnership Funds Takes Effect" notes the implications of a recent amendment to the legislation reauthorizing the Bulletproof Vest Partnership (BVP) program. This amendment requires that to be eligible for such funds, agencies must ensure that vests purchased with the funds be "uniquely fitted" to each officer who will wear one of the funded vests. This means that each officer who will wear a funded vest must be physically measured so as to ensure that the vest she/he wears fits so that it fully covers the officer's chest and back. This requirement takes effect beginning in 2017.
