Tactical Suits

Duties of the law enforcement community have become much more complex and challenging with the realization of new kind of threats, as introduced by the 9/11 attacks in 2001. Today, law enforcement teams on all national levels are expected to take active roles in the response to terrorism and potential terrorist threats. The personal protective equipment (PPE) used by these responders consequently needs to be adapted to fulfill the special demands and requirements set forth by close contact with various CBRN substances, while at the same time not limiting the ability for adequate response. To be truly effective, PPE equipment intended for safekeeping of law enforcement personnel must consider and put focus on both garment material, as well as garment design and comfort.
