Body Armor. In recognition of the need to enhance the personal safety of security personnel at DHMH and Correctional Facilities, the parties agree that non-probationary security personnel who have contact with forensic patients and/or inmates should generally have the opportunity to have individually fitted stab proof vests and, in addition, individually fitted bullet proof vests will be provided to officers on an “as-needed” basis. The sharing of vests shall not be considered an acceptable practice and vests may transferred from employee to employee only if such vests are a proper fit and are appropriately sanitized in accordance with practices necessary to eliminate the risk of the spread of MRSA and other communicable diseases. The parties agree to meet and agree to policies, including any limitations or exclusions, for the provision of stab proof vests to correctional officers and security attendants by January 31, 2008. In developing the policies, the committee shall:
Body Armor. 16.2.1 The County agrees to provide body armor for Deputy Sheriffs, Sheriff’s Senior Deputies, and Sheriff’s Sergeants, provided it is worn in accordance with Department policy.

Body Armor. The Employer will provide to the employee in the corrections division dual purpose stab and bullet resistant body armor vests. Employees who are provided vests will be required to wear same through their tour of duty, and the Employer agrees to maintain said vests according to manufacturers recommended guidelines.
Body Armor. 38.1 It is the Intent of this Article that the payment of the body armor replacement is separate and different from the uniform allowance.

Officers, for whom the body armor has been provided, shall be required to wear the protective vest while on duty and may be subject to discipline for failure to wear said vest. Replacement body armor shall be provided every five (5) years. It shall be the responsibility of the employee to request the replacement at least sixty (60) days prior to the date of replacement. Any employee not meeting this sixty (60) day requirement shall still be entitled to a replacement vest.
