There are no effects on the individual for not providing any or all parts of the requested information. NIOSH will use this information to redesign LEO cruiser cabs and personal protective gear (such as body armors). More specifically, the data will be used in defining the adjustment range of seats and restraint systems and other safety features of the cab as well as in specifying improved sizing systems for protective gear. This information will be used by and disclosed to NIOSH personnel and contractors or other agents who need the information to assist in activities related to the redesign of LEO cruiser cabs and personal protective gear. The results of the study in a summary format will be disseminated to police vehicle manufacturers, manufacturers of law enforcement officer (LEO) safety equipment, and state police organizations. Additional dissemination of results will be reported in peer-reviewed journals and other transportation safety forums. All data shared will be de-identified prior to dissemination.
