PPSS Body Armor for Corrections Officers

PPSS Body Armor can effectively help protect a corrections officer's vital organs from: edged weapons; and hypodermic needles; as well as makeshift weapons, including: razor blades; sharpened table and bed frame legs; plastic and porcelain shanks; broken off pieces of mirror; tooth brushes; and melted razor blades.

PPSS Body Armor has been specially designed, developed and manufactured with nothing else in mind but the best possible level of safety for corrections officers.

It's a simple fact that corrections officers deal with some of society's most dangerous, violent and unpredictable people on a daily basis and work in an extremely challenging environment. In our opinion, these great professionals have the clear right to demand appropriate protection and the undivided attention and support from those charged with ensuring their welfare.

Following the despicable killing of a correctional officer at a federal prison in Wayne County (USA); the well documented slashing of officer Craig Wylde at the UK's Frankland High Security Prison in 2010; the killing of officer Jason Palmer in New Zealand in 2010; and numerous additional horrendous assaults on corrections officers around the world - we believe it is time to start honest and open discussions on what can and should be done to protect these professionals.
