NOTICE TO BVP GRANTEES Since 1999, over 11,500 jurisdictions have participated in the Office of Justice Programs' Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) Bulletproof Vest Partnership (BVP) Program. Through pvP, $118 million in federal funds have been committed to support the purchase of an estimated 450,000 vests for America's law enforcement community. In November 2003, Attorney General John Aeheroft announced a Body Armor Safety Initiative in response to the failure of a bullet-resistant vest worn by a police officer in Pennsylvania. NIJ was directed to initiate an examination of ZylonGebased bullet- resistant vests ( both new and used) and to review the existing program by which bullet- resistant vests are tes:ed to determine if the program needs modification. paving completed its latest phase of ballistic and mechanical properties testing, NJ has determined that used Zylong - containing vests may riot provide the intended level of ballistic resistance. In response to this determination, N1J has issued a body armor standard advisory notice concerning Zylon0 , and has issued new interim requirements for its body armor compliance testing program that will become effective on September 26, 2005. Until the effective date of the interim requirements, jurisdictions that participate in the BVP program will be ineligible to receive payment for new orders placed for any body armor vest that contains Zylone. once the NIJ interim requirements become effective, a list of vest models that comply will be maintained at: http://www.justnet.orge Pursuant to the FY 2005 Department of Justice Appropriations Act, $2a.6 million was made available for the purchase of vests through the annual EV?
