The officers will be transported in new Survivor 1 vehicles which can cope with chemical or biological attack

The SK4-rated ballistic protection is capable of stopping a round fired from an AK-47 assault rifle.

The Survivor One can deal with chemical, nuclear and biological warfare agents., protecting the officers inside from exposure.

Some 70 officers are to be supplied with the additional body armour and helmets to protect them in the case of an attack.

According to NDR.de, the decision to equip the police with the heavy-duty equipment was due to the ongoing threat posed by ISIS.

In mid July, the city ordered 280 near assault rifles and sub-machine guns for officers.

Earlier this month, German police raided locations in three states and detained nine asylum seekers suspected of being part of an organized Chechen crime ring, MDR television reported.

Police had said earlier that the raids were staged in Dresden, Leipzig, Pirna and Radeberg in the eastern state of Saxony as well as locations in the neighbouring state of Thuringia and the western state of Rhineland-Palatinate.

Now Germany has to spend of taxpayers money on internal security against "domestic" terrorist threats when they could have simply avoided this by not taking in the more than 1 million military aged men from warzone countries where ISIS among other terrorist organizations have a strong presence.

Prevention is the best form of protection.

As your "" around domestic indicates, the thread is foreign. Germans taxpayers have no problem with their government spending taxpayer money on this, so why should you? All policy options carry costs, including not taking in refugees.

Your million men don't jive with available statistics: see lastest report
http://www.asylumineurope.org/reports/country/germany

In 2015 758000 persons recorded as new arrivals

In 2015: 362,153 (48%) asylum applicants (people) total in Germany,
of which 289,622 are given with known country of origin
of which 145,841 (50%) from Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan
the remainder are from Albania, Kosovo, Serbia, FYROM, Eritrea, Pakistan and 'Stateless'.

For the same period EUROSTAT reports 343,610 applications (forms). Of these application, 68.5% are male over 18

So, lets say influx is 0.6852 * 758000 = 519,318 males over 18 in 2015
0.5036 * 0.6852 * 758000 = 261,561 males over 18 from Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan ion 2015.

Pakistan needs to do some major changes in its Police Structure. As first step we need to decide How many PoliceMan we need to have per 100000 people as it varies in different countries from being as low as 60 in poor countries to more than 300 plus in countries like Algeria and and other countries. USA has around 266. So let say Pakistan has 250 PoliceMan in one Police station and 50 Policewomen. We need to have bigger Police Stations with women section part of it with separate facilities. We have to keep in mind all 250 man 50 and women can't work at same time so they would have to be divided in 3 shifts with each shift based on 8 hours. Secondly we need to massively re equip our Police Force. Every Policeman should have good Handgun as well one Assault Rifle and as economy improves bullet proofs also. The most important things which now I am going to say is that 10 percent of these 250 PoliceMan which are deployed in every Police Station should have Light Commando training I mean if SWAT gets 6 month training these Light Commandos should get half of it I mean based on 3 months. They should be first to deal with ongoing robbery or hostage situation or terrorism.

By the way the Glass placed on helmet is that bullet proof ?
 
I don't think it is bulletproof but it is to protect their eyes from explosives like shrapnel from getting in their eyes and blinding them.

The visors Norwegian police have are rated to stop a 9mm bullet, so I'd expect the German ones to be able too - and they're much thicker.

lst_02826.t557a713a.m1600.xbaed6e9e.jpg


The visor used by Norwegian police is also used by France's GIGN.

An interesting difference between French or German counterterrorism police and their Norwegian counterparts is that while they have them, the Norwegian Special Police Units don't often wear their visors and instead opt for military-style helmets.

These photos show members of FSK and MJK (in tan) and Delta (in black) - Delta is an elite unit within Norway's Emergency Response Unit (SWAT).

We see the same during other counterterrorism exercises, such as this at sea hostage rescue op.

Again, unlike rapid response or regular police units, the special police teams opt for military-style headwear, but not a visor.
