Some Greater Danbury area police departments have donated body armor to Ukrainian Citizens.  The effort was organized by Fairfield Police with the help of the Ukrainian American Club of Southport.  More than 200 previously used ballistic vests and helmets from several Departments were donated to Ukrainian defenders to assist with protecting themselves throughout the Russian invasion. Police departments that joined the humanitarian effort included the Brookfield, Easton, Monroe, Wilton, and Western Connecticut State University.  The body armor is just one of many items that have been specifically requested by Ukrainian aid groups and will provide critical protection for defense units.  The collected body armor will be donated and shipped to the Ukrainian American Coordinating Council which has been vetted by the U.S. government as an appropriate donation point for Ukraine.
