Overview
- The Ministry Public Prosecutor’s Office delivered the first 40 vests on February 5 at the Legislature Annex in San Juan.
- Units go to coordinating and case prosecutors as a targeted deployment for complex investigations and on‑site operations.
- Prosecutor General Guillermo Baigorrí said the gear seeks to reinforce safety given frequent exposure to risk during sensitive tasks.
- The vests are SEATLE S.A. FORCE 10 models with Kevlar panels, RB‑3 certification under national norms, and a unisex design.
- Some outlets report mandatory use in complex or high‑risk cases, while official communications emphasize protection goals without a published operational protocol, marking a shift beyond police‑only use seen in higher‑conflict jurisdictions.
