Back to Basics

While officers often wear body armour for the duration of their shift, the human skeleton is not built to carry around this amount of weight long-term and it could contribute to significant health issues.

To help draw attention to these issues, the Federation launched an awareness drive, Back to Basics, to highlight the damage that body armour could potentially cause to the wearer and ways to prevent it.
