In the publication the authors refer to the research project implemented by the Police Academy in Szczytno (Poland), jointly with other consortium members, entitled „Customised design of multifunctional ballistic vests of secret wearing”. The issues raised in the article relate in particular to this part of the research project which is carried out by the Police Academy in Szczytno. The research focuses on individualized personal protection, which is designed, among other things, to provide camouflage, increase comfort, as well as ensure effective protection against common threats faced by the potential user. The study describes the methodology of analysis of adverse events in the Police service. Reference was also made to research performed in the field of vests validation, which are designed to establish broadly defined functional properties of a desired vest. The description of research also takes into account the personal data protection of officers, who have been measured with the use of scanner, and the measurements of whom are intended to be transmitted to a potential manufacturer of the final product. The aim of the research described in the article is the determination of the functional properties of personal protection of officers so that they were far more effective in protection against threats.
