Parisian police will be given assault rifles and Kalashnikov-resistant shields in a first for the French capital's officers nearly four months after a devastating terror attack killed 130 people, the interior minister said on Tuesday.The weapons, up until now reserved for elite intervention forces, will allow members of certain police units "to intervene as fast as possible to reinforce the first patrols, notably when we are confronted with mass killings", said the minister Bernard Cazeneuve.
"Some of the criminals you are confronted with no longer hesitate to use heavy weapons against you, and you must be equipped with the means to fire back, and adequate protection," Cazeneuve told officers at a Parisian police station.The anti criminal police unit who often mostly operate in plain cloths will be given 204 Heckler and Koch G36 assault rifles,about 1,800 bullet prof vests and 241 shields,that are resistant to Kalashnikov bullets.
The
anti-criminal (BAC) police units, who most often operate in plain
clothes, will be given 204 Heckler and Koch G36 assault rifles, about 1
800 bullet-proof vests and 241 shields that are resistant to Kalashnikov
bullets.
The new equipment, which also includes Taser guns and other items, is worth $18m.
