CHICAGO — The Chicago Police Department is receiving hundreds of new bulletproof vests.
The Chicago Police Memorial Foundation delivered 500 new vests Wednesday morning. The vests were purchased with $540,000 in federal funding.
The foundation says it has now spent more than $13,000 on bulletproof vests for Chicago police officers.
Bulletproof vests should be replaced every five years due to wear and tear.
