 Chief Jennings has relentlessly spoken about how unsafe and unprofessional they are. Now, according to the FOP, most CMPD units, including all tactical units, wear these vests, but that does not include patrol officers. As Channel 3's Mary Calkins, Chief Jennings is digging in his heels on the issue, saying the outer vests offer no better protection, and he turned down city money to buy them. That angered City Councilman Tark Bakari, who has said Jennings should resign.
