Under the new concept of equipping police officers are from 1 1st 2015 equipped with all the anti-conflict teams of the Regional Police Directorate new reflective uniform. Vista, which is equipped with all 200 police officers, was tested during 2014 in a pilot project within the user tests for several counties.
Newly introduced features to the vest, which meets the standard for high visibility clothing, are the most modern materials. “Vista is a preservative that enhances the upper half of the torso without arms. The vest is designed for use in environments with high demands for visibility, especially in bad weather conditions, at night and in extreme activities and situations even in daylight, “says ACP coordinator of the Public Order Police Directorate of the Police Presidium, Cpt. Mgr. Martin who participated in the development of vests.
An innovation is the retro reflective band (providing back-reflection of light) in blue on those vests, which can boast only a handful of police forces throughout Europe. On 1cm² fabrics is up to 30,000 glass beads and light incident on the reflective strip of material is preferably reflected back to the source.
Another new feature is the placement of the English inscription “Ant conflict team” on both sides of the vest. This designation will certainly appreciate foreign fans.
“We were inspired by safety vest in other European countries; we placed and created a product that meets the strictest European regulations. Differentiating anti-conflict team members from other police forces and security agencies in football stadiums was our main demand, “says the director of the Directorate of Public Order Police Presidium, col. doc. Ingo. Shrink Martin, Ph.D., MBA.
Officers will significantly contribute to the forthcoming international events, domestic football matches and other security measures such as demonstrations, rallies and strikes.
