Switzerland. Geneva. Paquis neighborhood. Two police officers seat on the staircase of a building's hallway. Both are waiting for a locksmith to arrive and close the door of a flat which was burglarised. The policeman and the policewoman are playing with their iphones. They are wearing a ballistic vest, bulletproof vest or bullet-resistant vest which is an item of personal armor that helps absorb the impact from knives, firearm-fired projectiles and shrapnel from explosions, and is worn on the torso. Soft vests are made from many layers of woven or laminated fibers and can be capable of protecting the wearer from small-caliber handgun and shotgun projectiles, and small fragments from explosives such as hand grenades. 25.07.12 © 2012 Didier Ruef..
