I saw this on the HCSO side and figured it fit due to our last post regarding load bearing vest.
“ I just saw USFPD is going to load bearing vest.. Temple Terrace has had them for years and Tampa is currently testing them. How has this not been looked into seriously? I know they won’t leave the white shirts but seriously there is nothing wrong with wearing a black vest over it.

Also let’s save the old timers b*tching about looking to “tactical” or wanting to be “S.W.A.T.”. There are a ton of studies showing huge benefits to officers wearing them.”

I mean come on the damn campus cops are getting them?... how is this not okay for us yet.
