Providing funding for the procurement and distribution of updated body armor to female law enforcement agents and officers across federal agencies. 4. Mandating regular assessments and updates to ensure that female officers have access to the most advanced and effective body armor available. Overall, the Female Body Armor Modernization Act seeks to address a critical gap in the protection of female law enforcement officers and ensure that they have the necessary equipment to safely and effectively carry out their duties.
