Who makes 28mm police equipped with protective vests?

[Pattus Magnus]

I am hoping to find some modern police officer figures that are wearing tactical vests. So far I have seen quite a few modern police figures, but all are either missing the vests or are fully kitted out for riot control or SWAT duties. Do police figures with basic protective equipment even exist?

Any help would be appreciated at this point!

While many US police officers are wearing tactical vests now, with plates integral to the vests, many others still wear their vests under their duty uniform shirts.  Police figures that are "just" wearing duty shirts could still be regardied as wearing armor - it'd just be under their shirts...

Urban Beat, does/did a range of Bobbies in flat caps and wearing stab vests. Think early 2000s episodes  of The Bill. Most if not all are tooled up with MP5s, maybe best if you need a TSG.

The ironically named Hasslefree produce a range of bobbies based on Hot Fuzz, in stab vests and with a variety or arms options. Caveat emptor and the best of luck ordering them in the lottery that is doing business with HF.

See, American cops aren't fat after all. It's just their tactical armour that makes their bums look big in uniform.

I had a few of those Urban Beat figures as I was also looking for UK cops - not terribly impressed by them, I'm sorry to say. The closest I came was the Eureka multipart SWAT figures with Gripping Beast WW1 British caps as flat hats but they were a touch small in comparison with other ranges. Still looking.

You don't say whether you're looking for US, UK, or other nations' police. Spectre Miniatures, while a UK company, seem to concentrate on law enforcement officers from the USA. However, I  can only see two on their website who are visibly wearing vests, one of whom is an FBI agent and the other a Texas Ranger, but as noted by CapnJim, this doesn't necessarily mean that some of the others - SWAT teams aside - are not doing so discreetly.

Ideally, they would be suitable as Canadian patrol officers. Uniforms vary im Canada a bit between RCMP and the various provincial and city/ municipal police forces, but a “paint conversion” would do in most cases. They’re similar to US and UK police in flat caps. At this point I’m less worried about uniform details than the body armour, which has been issued by the Canadian police forces I’m familiar with for at least 20 years.

Some of the Pandyman range sounds like it might fit the bill:

FinnN, yeah, some of those could work with the right paint job.

Just about to mention them.

One of their original ones.

And here are some I got at Warfare 2023 with improved print (my suspicion is the original ones had been "smoothed").




They also have firemen and medics.

There is also Crooked Dice, a combination of the X-Commando bodies and various police heads.

[carlos marighela]

I like that last one. June Ackland gets angry.

[Ultravanillasmurf]

If you want serious tactical gear, you could combine Empress US Army with suitable heads.




Crooked Dice have North American and UK style police heads.









And for female  PSNI

There really does need to be a 'not Frank Burnside' figure. 'You're nicked sunshine!'

A bit too American and not quite Canadian, though, aren't they?
