SAVER Project: Personal Flotation Devices for Law Enforcement

Personal flotation devices (PFDs) may be designed as wearable or throwable devices, including multi-purpose vests, inflatable collars, inflatable pouches, and flotation clothing. Law enforcement personnel carrying the additional weight of mission essential equipment may require a PFD with substantially more buoyancy than that required for the average adult.

Find this project in the FEMA Authorized Equipment List and InterAgency Board Interactive Standardized Equipment List.
