outdated according to standards set by The National Institute of Justice, and
the vest manufacturers? warranted level of protection has expired. The SWAT
Team members are usually not sent to the scene of a crime unless the situation
is extreme. That means these officers are going directly into a dangerous
situation and need to be properly protected. For this reason, the SWAT Team
uses overt ballistic vests when they go into the field. Overt vests are worn
over the clothing. They provide maximum protection against a barrage of
weaponry. The overt vests are designed to be a bit heavier than the covert vest
provided to Patrol officers for daily wear.

The Stop Stick is a tire-deflation device used during high speed pursuits.
Vehicle pursuits are among the most hazardous functions performed by law
enforcement. These acts can endanger citizens, officers, motorists, and the
fleeing suspect and passengers. In an effort to save lives, prevent personal
injury, reduce accidents, hazards and property damage, and minimize the
potential for civil liability of a vehicle pursuit, the Columbus Police
Department will utilize tire deflation devices to slow fleeing vehicles.
The Police Department is requesting the purchase of Stop Stick, a top rated
brand of tire deflation device (TDD). TDDs are used to end high-speed
automobile pursuits quickly and safely, by not only Georgia State Patrol, but
also law enforcement agencies in every state. The Stop Stick brand alone is
equipped in over 200,000 police vehicles and has ended more than 21,000
pursuits safely. By ending the pursuits safely, the Department will be able to
reduce liability and save lives. TDD?s are engineered to deflate tires without
causing a blowout by releasing air at a safe, controlled rate so the vehicle
operator can maintain control. There is no debris left on roadways from their
deployment.
