Armor from time to time is politically unpopular:
- Armor is a life saving tool and a necessary piece of equipment for any municipality
- Complacent attitude that we "won’t need that here" is not liability conscious
- Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it by that time it is too late
- Relying on another jurisdiction for armor assets may delay response and may prove to be unreliable when needed
Additional points to consider:
- An Armored Vehicle is necessary piece of rescue equipment
- Without an armor vehicle it out capabilities are extremely limited
- Armor vehicles allow for flexibility in tactics and strategy
- Armor vehicles transport necessary medical equipment and personnel safely into the crisis area
- Armor vehicles are a liability decision that pays dividends in lives and increased safety
- Search for funding your lives and citizen lives depend on it
