Title: Do the police and military need more personal safety equipment such as ballistic helmets full head coverage and body?


1
Do the police and military need more personal
safety equipment such as ballistic helmets full
head coverage and body?

Do the police and military need more personal
safety equipment such as ballistic helmets full
head coverage and body?
  • All law enforcement and military personnel need
    to be equipped with the latest in personal safety
    equipment, given the complexity and violence of
    threats they face. The latest advances in
    ballistic helmets, for instance, offer both head
    coverage and body protection.
  • Personal Safety Equipment Ballistic
    shields helps to save whenever you are in protest
    to control people.
  • Personal safety gear is becoming increasingly
    designed for military use. Ballistic helmets are
    protective headgear worn by the military
    personnel to protect their head from head
    injuries caused due to explosion of ordnance,
    impact with bullet, grenade, mine explosion or
    relatively low-velocity objects. These helmets
    are either fully protective or suffer partial or
    selective protection, dependent on the users
    needs.
  • What is the most common type of armor used in the
    military?
  • Armored combat suits, also known as bulletproof
    vests, are made of high-density materials, such
    as ceramic and metal, and can be worn by soldiers
    and other law enforcement officers.

Is a ballistic helmet considered body armor?
  • Similarly, body armor can also be defined as
    protective gear that helps military personnel
    defend themselves against firearm attacks. The
    principle behind body armor was first postulated
    in medieval times when knights drew up metal
    plates onto their mail shirts for added
    protection. Body carves were first used by the
    ancient Greeks, Romans and medieval knights to
    prevent penetration of opposing swords. The
    principle is still same today with army men
    wearing bullet proof vests to protect themselves
    from sniper fire and grenade blasts during war
    time combat zones.
  • Both ballistic helmets and body armor can be
    further subdivided into three categories based on
    their level of protection. First, the ballistic
    helmet, known as soft helmet provides
    protection against low velocity objects such as
    bullets, fragments and shrapnel. It is a soft,
    flexible piece of protective gear that fits
    closely to the users head.
  • Currently, ballistic helmets and body armor are
    either used separately or are worn by the
    soldiers on the battlefields. They are not
    available for use in a tactical military
    situation. A ballistic helmet protects the head
    of the user, while body armor protects the body
    of the user. However, both of them cannot be used
    at the same time, as a result of the physical
    interference between the two.

WHY ARE THE POLICE AND MILITARY SUPPLY
BULLETPROOF VEST?
  • Bulletproof vests are intended to protect a
    person from ballistic threats such as a handgun,
    rifle or shotgun. The main objective of a
    bulletproof vest is to stop a bullet or fragments
    from entering the body. Bulletproof vests have
    been worn by military personnel since World War
    II.
  • What is the most common type of ballistic helmet?
  • A ballistic helmet is a piece of protective gear
    worn on the head to prevent head injuries.
    Ballistic helmets are used in both military and
    civilian life. The main function of a ballistic
    helmet

WHY IS BULLETPROOF VEST SO IMPORTANT FOR THE
POLICE AND MILITARY?
  • A bulletproof vest is used by law enforcement
    officers to protect their bodies from gunshots
    and other forms of violence. The most common
    bulletproof vest worn by police officers is the
    soft ballistic vest.
  • A ballistic helmet is a piece of protective gear
    worn on the head to prevent head injuries.
    Ballistic helmets are used in both military and
    civilian life. The main function of a ballistic
    helmet is to protect the head of the wearer from
    low-velocity injuries caused by bullets, shrapnel
    and fragments.
