Police Sunglasses
Sun protection for the eyes is a standard piece of police equipment. Prolonged exposure to the UV rays contained in sunlight can increase the risk of cataracts, Macular Degeneration and Keratitis (sun burn to the retina). However, a police officer no longer has to compromise job performance for eye safety. The demand, and subsequently the market, for police sunglasses have grown considerably as the technology has improved. Police sunglasses are no longer a generic item; there are many specifications to meet the officer's safety and comfort needs.

There are different factors to consider when selecting the appropriate pair of police sunglasses, most significantly, how they will be put to use? First, consider the frame and style of the police sunglasses. Will slip resistant nose pads be helpful against sweat during high intensity apprehensions? Or would wrap around police sunglasses be better suited for mounted police and motorcycle police riders to protect against them slipping completely off? Most importantly, police sunglasses should contain shatter resistant lenses to protect against facial or eye injury in the event of a blow to the face. Polycarbonate lenses are lightweight and durable and are also available in ultra impact resistant form.
The next factor to consider when choosing the right police sunglasses is the color and type of lenses. Polarized lenses are specifically designed to reduce glare, so they may be very appropriate for police in sun soaked precincts in the West. The right color of lenses often depends on personal liking, the department's specific regulations and weather conditions. Because of these variables, many police sunglasses come with interchangeable lenses to allow for versatility with color. Gray and brown are believed to distort colors the least and therefore, are the most common lenses for sport sunglasses. Although rarely considered, police sunglasses are an indispensable tool for protecting and serving communities around the country.
