Acting Commissioner Gary Dreibergs talks to 6PR about stab proof ballistic vests.

WAPU will continue our work to rule safety campaign until such time as we have a written commitment to provide police officers with stab proof ballistic vests and a commitment for more troops on the frontline.

The safety of our Members is our utmost priority and we will continue to work with WA Police and the State Government to find the most appropriate body armour for our conditions and requirements.
