Police have got new safety vests

The police introduced a new part of the uniform – reflective vest. They have two designs, reflecting mainly on traffic police and dark blue mainly for police order. New vests allow police officers to have their "mobile office" in their waterproof pockets.

Blue vests were given to the police about three days ago. A hundred samples will be tested by police officers in Prague, South Moravia and Moravia-Silesia. The reflective design was tested for three years. Approximately half a year is already used by the traffic police. "We currently have 2700 pieces," said Michal of the Directorate of Traffic Police.

Dark vests differ from reflexes. They also have additional buckles for attaching a micro camera or an extra pocket specially designed for a mobile phone. There are also pockets for pencils, blocks, radio, gloves, knife and other accessories.

"Previously, these things were carried by the cops in their pockets, which limited them and did not look good. Now they have virtually everything, such a mobile office, "said police Chief Martin.

The police wanted not only to boast new safety vests but also introduced them for people not to be surprised and did not ask whether they were actually police officers. This has also happened in the past when a new gear was introduced.
