Hey neighbours,

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?

The person I had renting it has just changed employment so it is up for grabs. The park would be perfect for a professional working in town, it is outside my house in a secure gated community just off Victoria Street and $30 per week. Much cheaper than renting a park from the likes of Wilson’s or more convenient than having to hunt down a park each morning!! DM if interested :)
