1. If the wearing of stab vests is mandatory across all departments and if not, why this might be?

2. Does there need to be more petitioning to do so or do the teams just not need them?

1. The wearing of body armour has been mandatory since the late 1990s. If an officer is injured and they do not have it on they are not insured.

2. There is no data available relating to this question.
