<p>The Government is clear that police officers should have the best possible protection
when facing the physical violence that is sometimes directed against them. Decisions
about the selection and purchase of police equipment are primarily for chief officers
of police. The Home Office Centre for Applied Science and Technology provides scientific
and technical advice to support the police, including the development and management
of protective equipment standards, such as body armour and personal defence sprays.</p>
