FBI Birmingham recently equipped Miles College police officers with legacy body armor designed to provide underfunded departments with effective equipment as another level of protection.

Carlton Peeples, FBI special agent in charge, Birmingham Field Office, said Miles College law enforcement officers are “now equipped with one more tool to keep them safe as they work to keep the students, faculty and members of the Birmingham community safe.”

Miles College President Bobbie Knight said the equipment “will greatly enhance our ability to ensure the safety and well-being of our students, faculty and staff. … The tactical vests will be a key resource in our efforts to protect our campus community.”
