How to Buy a Bulletproof Vest
Bulletproof vests are used to protect law enforcement workers in the line of duty. Most departments require that their officers wear a bullet proof vest at all times while working. If your department does not provide a vest, you'll have to buy one on your own. The rule of thumb is to buy a new bulletproof vest every five years.
