DHS Better Ballistic Body Armor Act improves body armor for female DHS agents and officers.
The DHS Better Ballistic Body Armor Act mandates the Department of Homeland Security to procure ballistic resistant body armor that is specifically designed to protect the body shapes of agents and officers. The armor must be made to conform to the individual wearer, fit properly, and have sufficient coverage. It must also be certified by the National Institute of Justice and pass specific testing criteria. The act requires annual reports on the issuance of this armor to female agents and officers, and an aggregate report to Congress.
