Ear and Eye Protection for operational Police Dogs

The police and Crime Commissioner for Sussex and the Police and Crime Commissioner for Surrey are exploring the market for the supply of ear and eye protection for our operational dogs. These dogs may be deployed during operations where distraction devices such as flash bangs or other incapacitating devices are used and may be in close proximity to such deployments. In light of this, the Force is seeking to understand what suitable protective products are currently available on the market, along with information regarding product performance, durability, and expected lifespan.
