PPSS introduces emergency body armour for civilians

Following a number of well documented knife attacks on civilians in recent years, PPSS Group started a comprehensive R&D project with the aim to design a ultra-lightweight body armour that can be strategically located in public places and deployed within a very few seconds, in case of emergency. The emergency body armour is available to airports, train stations, hospitals, city centre hotels, and other key locations civilians may flee to and seek shelter when faced by a suddenly occurring threat.

This latest emergency body armour also offers unmatched protection from blunt force trauma injuries, usually suffered following an assault by a blunt object.

"An emergency body armour makes sense, and it will help to protect human lives and reduce the number of casualties when a serious threat occurs," said Robert Kaiser, CEO of PPSS Group, at the launch event.

Following the issuing of body armour to all Police Forces in the UK in the 90s, many hospital and university security teams have now equipped their teams with stab resistant vests since.  The same can be said for several public sector enforcement teams, such as Trading Standards, Licensing, Community Safety, Environmental Health and Car Parking Enforcement.
