Bullet proof vest for security men

JAKARTA (JP): Chief of City Security Office A.F. Lapian said all city security officers will now be equipped with bullet proof vest because of riskier duties they are now facing.

Lapian said that since the number of the vests is only 295 their distribution will be prioritized to officers having dangerous duties. He did not give details.

Currently, the number of the city security officers totals 643, Lapian said, adding that his office still needs 332 more officers.

He also said that out of the 643 officers, 11 officers are women. "We need more women to do tasks such as raids on prostitution areas," Lapian added. (mas)
