10. ENHANCED POLICE SAFETY EQUIPMENT
Since January 1 st of this year there has been a 61 % increase of police officers
killed in the line of duty due to assaults with gunfire. These incidences have

active shooter scenarios, involving suspects with high-power rifles.
Currently, apart from SWAT team members, The Tustin Police Department
does not issue personal body armor capable of stopping rifle fire to its officers.
The ability for officers in the City of Tustin to be protected in ambush situations
and the ability to respond properly to active shooter scenarios with high-
powered weapons is paramount for the safety of the officers involved and the
citizens of our City.
