Police Protection Vests

1143 Mr ODENWALDER (Elizabeth) (11 September 2019). Which manufacturers products are being considered and/or tested in the ballistic vest trial currently underway? Where are these companies based?

The Hon. C.L. WINGARD (Gibson—Minister for Police, Emergency Services and Correctional Services, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing): The vests trial is being conducted as a part of an approved government procurement process, which is subject to the usual commercial-in-confidence requirements. In order to protect the integrity of that process, no information about the participating manufacturers will be released.
