All New Zealand police officers will receive new stab- and bullet-proof vests in a $20 million roll-out over the next three-and-a-half years.
The current vests - which were introduced in 2006 - are stab-proof, but special vests are worn by any officers involved in firearms call-outs.
They have passed their warranty, but remain "safe and fit for purpose", says Police Commissioner Mike Bush.
What do you think about the new armour? Are police officers safe using the current vests? Are you surprised the existing vests aren't stab- and bullet-proof?

Better still, they’re a snap to make, especially if you have ready-grated tasty and parmesan cheese from Mainland in the fridge.
For the more adventurous eaters, finish each muffin with a little wedge of Brie, Noble or Blue cheese. You might not be able to resist sneaking a couple for your own lunch!

A total fire ban is now in place across Marlborough following a spate of hot temperatures and strong winds. A wet start to the summer has meant vigorous plant growth, which means Marlborough is ripe for scrub fire. While the region still looks green in places, the soil and grass are drying out.

Entrance signs at the Wither Hills Farm Park have been installed cautioning walkers and bikers to avoid the area between 10am and 4pm. Temperatures are expected to peak to 35 degrees in Blenheim next week, and as the hot weather continues, everyone needs to be responsible to protect our region from a fire.
