Police in Merseyside responding to victims of corrosive substance attacks and other incidents involving hazardous chemicals, are being supplied with special acid attack medical kits so that they can respond quickly to incidents.
The initiative began with West Midlands Police, who worked with an emergency medical supply specialists to put together the kits which, it is hoped, will enable officers to minimise injury to members of the public.
The kits, which have been sent to all police forces across England and Wales, are the first of their kind containing not just water but Personal Protective Equipment for the emergency services.
They were deployed operationally for the first time at Prince Harry’s wedding in May by West Midlands Police providing tactical and logistical support to Thames Valley Police.
