“These islands aren 't causing this problem. And because of that, they 're powerless to save themselves” (CNN). As a resident of East Tennessee, I do not see the effects of global warming on a day-to-day basis; if I’m being honest, I do not believe I have ever really experienced this besides an abnormally warm winter’s day. I have always heard of global warming being a thing, but I never realized how it impacts the lives of hundreds of thousands of people each day. After reading these articles,…
the year 2017 alone, twenty-four highly trained police dogs were killed in the line of duty. That is approximately one dog every two weeks, whose deaths could have easily been prevented through the provision of protective tactical gear. Protective vests are a solid investment of taxpayer dollar, durably designed to protect dogs in hazardous situations and increase the safety of handling officers, and are durably fashioned to keep dogs safe. earned by deserving canine officers. Immensely brave,…
armor performance standard for ballistic resistance, most recently updated in 2008, this is the only national standard for police body armor. Recognition and acceptance of the NIJ standard has grown worldwide, making it the performance benchmark for ballistic-resistant body armor. Considering the fact that this is the substandard/minimum for body armor, the material is pretty strong. Unfortunately, there is no such thing as bullet- or stab-proof armor. However, ballistic-resistant body armor…
bulletproof vest can stop a certain bullet at a certain speed depending on how much layer the vest has. The person wearing the vest may block the bullet but may still suffer injury due to the bullet pushing you back. When the bullet hits the vest it disperses the round energy making the bullet slug to minimise blunt force trauma. A Bulletproof vest is made up of a lot of layers of tightly woven material to help protect the wearer. How body armor works: While wearing the vest,…
The military protective coverings such as body armor, flak jackets, protection vests, and military helmets and made with Kevlar fabric which is extremely lightweight giving maximum comfort as well as reduce fatigue for soldiers in the field.Despite its lightweight, Kevlar is five times stronger than steel offering maximum protection against ballistic projectiles. Kevlar is flame resistant and provides thermal protection when exposed to fire. Mass Transportation…
more protective it is also starting to become more discrete. The armor ranges from vests to tuxedos and blankets(Forero). The materials in the armor range from kevlar to the new biosteel. As the old material, kevlar, starts to become outdated, new material like spider silk, liquid armor, and biosteel are starting to become more popular in major bulletproof clothes makers. Kevlar, which was invented in…
five officers, wounding seven, and leaving a screaming crowd. After negotiation failed, the Dallas Police Bomb Squad Robot killed the gunman. The police investigated his house and found multiple weapons and gear. (Including: bomb kits, rifles, ballistic vests, etcetera.) “this was a mobile shooter who had written manifestos on how to shoot and move, shoot and move, and that’s what he did,” Dallas Mayor, Mike Rawlings said at a news conference. “as we’ve started to unravel this fishing knot,…
I am currently in a leadership role in the Law Enforcement Division and exercise leadership characteristics on a day-to-day basis. As a supervisor, I mentor employees in key survival skills, investigative methods, taking statements and analysis, surveillance techniques, tactical operational planning and firearms skills. I’m adept at assessing individual’s strengths and weaknesses and tailor my mentorship to help them achieve success. In addition, I analyze team matrixes to ensure individuals…
change [1]. The Kevlar is a para-aramid synthetic fiber much lighter and resistant than the steel. To be able to create a vest that can protect a body from the penetration of a bullet it is necessary to create a texture made of many layers. Because of this texture the armors results quite heavy and uncomfortable to be used, so the research teams are working to improve the ballistic performances of the material to be able to lower the number of layers. Another issues that has…
Mr. S.V, You don't know me nor should you. I am contacting you with conflicting emotions. You and another gentleman P.L. were described as "my closest and probably best friends I've ever had". I feel obligated to pass this limited information to you. Your friend M.R ("DR" to us) has suffered a severe concussion, multiple broken ribs, and possible internal bleeding. Being the team lead I have accompanied him for treatment and observation in country. I will also accompany him stateside where he…
