Hard plates and helmets. Should be getting escorted to the casualty collection points by LE, who can deal with threats and secure the CCP.
I'll see if I can ask a buddy on the EMS side what they are issues. I'm thinking Lvl 3 ceramic but not sure. All our entry medics are PD, so they are equipped similar to the rest of the entry team. |

When it comes to plate selection does anyone have a recommendation on ceramic versus steel? I am familiar with the benefits of each but looking for opinions for there use specifically in this environment.

My dept has purchased steel plates and carriers w helmets. All blue. We trained 6 months ago w PD on all hands/both depts mass shooting/casualty scenarios. We still don't have our gear. I guess we're waiting for the lowest bid again...
We went w steel due to ceramics would be destroyed within a day. |
