From: Walter McArthur
Dear New Zealand Police,
I'm writing to ask if you have a policy concerning officers who experience discomfort or back pain with the body armor system. If so could you please provide it.
I also have a number of specific questions:
Are exceptions made to officers who experience discomfort?
Are exceptions made to officers who have back issues?
If exceptions are not made, how are officers who have their issues accommodated?
Ngā mihi
Yours faithfully,
Walter McArthur
