Ballistic veste are issued to British officers by their police agencies. A British officer wishing tobuy a new vest would pay almnost a month's salarjy for one. Officers in Britan don't carry firearmns. Partners in Safety began through the Internet two years ago. A Scottish police go to U.K. officer relayed, through the international police news- group, news of three dif- ferent British officers who had been shot and killed in the lina of duty. The U.S. members of the group wanted to know why the offilcers weren't wearing bulletproof vesta and lear- ned that such vests are not issued in the United King- dom. A Nevada mamnber then shipped bis own vast to the Scottish officar and posted a messi e encouraging oth- ers to .do the saine, thus launching Partners in Safety. To date, more than 3.,000 veste have been donated by- police organizations and in- dividuals in the U.S. and Canada teo ofilcers in Bni- tain, and there have been cases where officers' lives have been saved.
