On the first glance of the title, you would think that this is something of a joke, but in Germany, it’s a rather serious issue for German Police.

The inner self needs protection! Maybe Singapore Police and Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) can take note too!

As stupid as it may sounds, it is actually a safety issue for women who are in the Police Force. Conventional bras are embed with plastic and metallic parts which may splitter upon a bullet’s impact, even though a bullet vest is worn.
“The new bras, however, are shielded and mainly made of cotton, polyester, spandex and polyamide.”

These new equipments has been tested secretly in the German Police Force for over 2 months. And with the trial tests over, they are ready to equip 3000 of the their Policewomen with it.
“The underwear is available in four different sizes. Each police women can get up to three bras, which are all emblazoned with the word “Polizei” (police).”

I’m just wondering, while Policewomen may faces real danger in their own countries, why are those deployed for overseas peacekeeping missions or specifically, those in the army, not issued with these equipments?
And, they need to get rid of the Polizei words. Inner clothings certainly do not need to be recognised as ‘Police’ and may just be a potential timebomb for women in undercover missions.
