Steger Chamber Supports ESDA
» Barb Dorman - Steger News - 10.02.08
Through a donation from the Steger Chamber of Commerce, the Steger ESDA (Emergency Services and Disaster Agency) was able recently to purchase 16 tailored, state-of-the-art, high coverage protection design bullet proof vests for the tactical law enforcement personnel.
These tailor made vests use the newest technology to ensure the highest protection with optimum fit and comfort. Officer's mobility is improved; they stay cooler and can carry more equipment.
These vests have versatile utility pouches that are compatible with tactical equipment and are fully adjustable. The vests are identical as to where the expandable baton, handcuffs, flash light, pepper spray, radio and other needed items are to be carried. They enable the officers to keep less weight on their waist and less stress on their backs.
The vests were bought purely as a safety precaution because the Steger ESDA officers work closer with the public than any other ESDA team. Each officer has to have over 200 hours of educational training every year.
ESDA members are trained in courses including: first responder, weather spotting, search and rescue, hazardous materials, dispatch, emergency lighting, CPR, defensive tactics, radiological incidents and ground search and rescue.
