lol Yeah, 100% understand. I'm an 18 year old law enforcement student, and I recently got a job with a low-profile but high activity security company my friend helped hook me up with. The company does alot of pro-active things, and gets involved with numerous situations, I don't want to make it sound like one of those whackers but it's sort of like a small police department but never the less, the sites I'd be protecting and overwatching aren't the best, and it's late night where all the drunks come and such, so I rather have myself protected if a situation may come at hand that I would need body armor for if you understand that. The company kinda makes you pay for everything yourself which is why I'm preferably looking for something cheap but also professional to an extent like in the pictures.

The highlighted sentence is a contradiction as well as indicative of an issue in perception.
You're 18, work a zero stress job, save a few pennies, enjoy your self and keep your nose clean. Get a degree, test a boat load, try and get a sponsored spot in an academy. Don't go spending a bunch of money on some security job.
PS, unless your security job is contracted by the federal govt, it is not like a small police dept.
Kinda harsh, but sometimes ya gotta hear it.
