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?

We’re asking for New Zealanders’ views now, so we can take them into account right from the start of the process.
Key benefits we will be looking for include removing tariffs and other barriers that restrict the flow of goods and services between our countries, and closer cooperation on progressive trade issues, including environmental protection.

So I go over to the vending machines and the one with the snacks lets you use your eftpos card, so away I went and got my snack. With the next machine I had to use cash, in goes $5, then I pushed the button required, but nothing comes out and I can't get my cash(refund) back. I go and tell a swimming attendant and she says, you'll have to ring the people who has the franchise and tell whats happened. So I said, "NO" that is not my job, it is your job, these machines are on your premises and it is not my job to do that. No luck with her, off I go the reception, the persson behind the desk tells me the same thing, so I repeat to her what I said to the other person. Next thing, another swimming attendant comes in and she comes and helps me. We turned the machine off and on a few times. No luck. She then says to me that she has used these macines before and has been charged a $5 fee for each item she purchased (total items was 4) ending up being charged $20 plus the cost of the snacks.
I brought up my bank account on my phone and noticed that I had been charged the correct amount of $2.50 PLUS a further two lots of $5's. Off I go back to reception and rings the people responsible. The person says, "you'll have to wait for 24 hours for it to go through the system, before it can be returned to your bank". The transaction said "pending". I was totally disgusted that this sort of fraud is allowed with these vending machines by the franchise people. I told the office at the pool they should not allow this to continue and to get rid of the machines. As it is now the weekend, I will be contacting Comsumers Gaurantees office on Monday. Before leaving the swimming pool, I wrote a long complaint to the Management. That Franchise has not not heard the last of this.It is not only the money, but the principle of it.
