CAMERON COUNTY 2024
Level IV ProTech Tactical Body Armor
The adoption of Level IV body armor for deputies offers critical benefits in enhancing the safety and protection of law enforcement officers. Level IV body armor provides the highest level of ballistic resistance, capable of stopping armor-piercing rounds and high-velocity projectiles.
In 2022, Sheriff Eric Garza distributed Level IV body armor to all deputies within the Cameron County Sheriff's Office (CCSO), offering significant benefits for officer safety and protection. The provision of Level IV body armor ensures that deputies have the highest level of ballistic resistance available, enhancing their personal safety and survivability in potentially life-threatening situations. By equipping all deputies with this advanced protective gear, Sheriff Garza demonstrates a commitment to their well-being and acknowledges the inherent risks they face while serving the community. This distribution instills confidence and reassurance among deputies, enabling them to carry out their duties with greater confidence and effectiveness. Ultimately, the deployment of Level IV body armor reinforces the CCSO's commitment to officer safety, enhances their operational capabilities, and further solidifies the bond of trust between law enforcement and the community they serve.
