The Bulletproof Vest is a police officer personal armor in 112 Operator, that can only be placed in the chest slot. It becomes available several days into any career, scenario, or freeplay game, and costs €3,000 to purchase as part of a gear set for police officers.
The Bulletproof Vest offers a Protection value of 0.5. Though this is hard to verify, 0.5 Protection appears to reduce the chance for the officer to get hit with any attack by 50%. This makes the officer much safer, as they fight to neutralize their assailant.
Note that it is currently unknown how Protection bonuses from multiple items (including the armor of the vehicle that the officer rides in) affect each other. However, it is clear that there is a certain cap: it's not possible to attain 100% protection (e.g. by wearing a Bulletproof Vest for 0.5 Protection, while riding in a Special Forces Van for another 0.9 Protection). Some attacks will always get through.
Bulletproof Vests are great for officers that are expected to be sent to deal with armed criminals, e.g. a team riding in a Police Van, Water Cannon or Special Forces Van. For even more protection, you could upgrade to a Tactical Uniform, though it costs almost twice as much.
With the Facilities DLC, the Bulletproof Vest is less useful for general-purpose police officers. They might instead benefit more from the variety of bonuses provided by a Tactical Vest, which still provides a modicum of protection.
