Level C Law Enforcement First Responder Kit
All items listed are approved for purchase with WMD Grant funding!
The lack of affordable personal protective equipment (PPE) has been identified as a major shortfall in preparing law enforcement agencies to respond to incidents of chemical weapon (CW) terrorism. To assist the first responder, a study/test effort was undertaken to identify a range of low cost commercially available ensembles that could be used on the perimeter of an incident where very low levels of CW contamination may be present. Our ensemble contains the MSA Millennium Advantage 1000 gas mask, and a Tyvek-pro chemical protective over-garment, Butyl rubber gloves, and protective over boots. The kit contents fit securely in our custom tactical style bag.
In responding to this type of event, quality respiratory protection was found to be the most critical aspect of the ensemble. Butyl rubber gloves provide superior protection against CW agents and the addition of a commercially available over-garment (elastic hood and wrist closures with built-in boots) was found to provide liquid splash protection and minimal vapor protection. It must be emphasized that this ensemble is intended for first responder use in the cold zone only.
