1,800 New Ops Vests for Zurich City Police

MEHLER PROTECTION is set to equip the Zurich City Police with the latest generation of operational waistcoats. Over the next four years, MEHLER PROTECTION will supply 1,800 waistcoats with integrated soft armour packs (SAP), providing enhanced protection, visibility, and modular adaptability for officers on duty.

The project spans a period of 60 months and highlights the strong synergies within MEHLER SYSTEMS, with the waistcoats being complemented by advanced belts supplied by LINDNERHOF, the Group’s specialist in load-bearing systems and tactical equipment.

The new waistcoats provide Zurich City Police officers with improved visibility. Lemon-coloured lettering is applied to the chest, back, and shoulders, making officers more easily identifiable in various operational scenarios. Additional visibility elements can also be attached as needed, enhancing both officer safety and public reassurance. MEHLER PROTECTION has been working in partnership with the Zurich City Police since 2016

In addition to greater visibility, the waistcoat is engineered to meet the complex demands of modern police work. The waistcoat can be easily reinforced with ballistic plates, ensuring protection against both long- and short-barrelled weapons. It can also be fitted with arm protectors to provide extended coverage during spontaneous law enforcement operations. Depending on the mission profile, additional tactical equipment can be attached as required.
