Brookfield residents will soon begin to see a new look to the uniform worn by some Brookfield Police Officers. A new External Ballistic Vest Carrier has been authorized for officers, in an effort to reduce back injuries from carrying all of their equipment on their waist belts. The external vest carrier will also allow officers to more easily remove the vest and gear when they are working inside the police station or in an emergency situation.  Not all officers will choose to wear the new external vest but for those who do, it will feature the officer's name and badge on the front, just as the uniform shirt does now.  The back panel will display the words "BROOKFIELD POLICE" for easy identification.
