LMPD officer shot twice following home invasion

It's probably 50/50 across the country...... I agree it should be left up to individual officers... you make millions of citizen contacts over your career and the chances are in ur favor.....even though I wear mine......it ony takes once.

Years ago when Doug Hamilton was chief there was a policy for a short time that it was required that officers wear them. It fell by the wayside because some officers would not wear them and complained it should be a choice, so that's what it went back to, your choice.
