Law Enforcement Advanced Protection (LEAP) Requirements Focus Group Report
Abstract
This focus group report documents the findings of a Law Enforcement Advanced Protection (LEAP) Requirements User Focus Group on November 15-16, 2006 in Alexandria, Virginia. This focus group is one in a series of personal protective equipment (PPE) related user focus groups for members of the law enforcement community. Its purpose was primarily to collect data/criteria for operational requirements, PPE trends and concepts of operations (CONOPS) from representatives within the law enforcement community. Program participants represented a cross section of the country's law enforcement community, covering different agencies, departments, and job functions. Focus group topics included: the current state of PPE for law enforcement; PPE integration and compatibility concerns; chemical/biological (CB) PPE and systems; CB response mission roles and mission related tasks; and law enforcement duty uniforms standards related issues. Data collected through this focus group, coupled with on-going research and analysis will be used in a number of LEAP related activities, including the development of performance criteria for law enforcement specific PPE standards.
