Surplus body armor once worn by metro area officers has been collected for a nonprofit involved in the war effort.

An estimated 300 bulletproof vests are loaded for shipment from the Douglas County Sheriff’s garage. Also going to Ukraine are about 120 helmets that have been phased out and replaced.

“This is a ballistic helmet, and we use these on our swat team in high-risk situations. The only thing wrong with the helmet is the expiration date has passed. Otherwise, the integrity of the helmet is the same and it will still stop a bullet,” said Wayne Hudson, chief deputy sheriff.

The surplus gear being sent to Ukraine also includes two ballistic shields that SWAT team members have used to confront an armed suspect. Boots, uniforms, and tourniquets will be added to the shipment all donated by metro area law enforcement agencies and the state patrol.
