Going by the description there, it says something about "no filler"
- could this be the armour that's missing ?

That looks like just the cover. Becky's stab vest came with a spare
cover in case ooh nasty stuff gets splattered on it.



It's a sad state of affairs when members of the fire brigade and
ambulance services need to worry about people trying to main them


Indeed. They can wear the vest whenever they want to, but some calls are
flagged 'vest mandatory' and some are flagged 'do not leave ambulance unless
police are on scene'. Vest is mandatory in certain post code areas.


SW1?


Conflict management and Aikido are part of the basic training. They have
radio code words to secretly convey that they are in a possibly dangerous
situation.

All for a basic salary of £14K.


..... and all up?
