Those vests are a life saver for your back and hips. Years of patrolling with a duty belt eventually leads to hip/back issues. Having a tactical vest helps distribute weight and reduces hip/back issues. We NEVER put detained individuals in the front. Maybe some other departments do, but not here in California. That's crazy!

I still have to arrest assholes, so it hasn't. Lol! The only difference is that we have reduced transient contact and we have N95 masks with us. California also instituted the "
no bail" warrant to reduce who we actually bring to jail; we cite and release in the field.
