The General Directorate has approved a game of 480,000 Euros for the reflective clothes that the agents will use this summer.
The Ministry of the Interior will allocate 479,160 Euros to the purchase of short-sleeved poles for the patrols of the Traffic Group of the Civil Guard. In the new garments of the Body predominate the colors yellow and green, will have three reflective bands and an identifying oval.
According to El Confidential Digital, these are the characteristics that must be met by the reflective short sleeve poles acquired by Interior for the Civil Guard Traffic Agents:
- These are garments made in 100% polyester reflective fabric.
- The front and back of the pole will have a single piece in yellow high visibility.
- The collar will be of shirt type and formed by two pieces of main fabric in green color and interlining. It will have a height of 75 mm.
- Each pole will have three reflective bands: there will be two vertical belts symmetrical with respect to the gate and one horizontal throughout the contour. Each one will have a width of 50 mm.
- The garments will also contain two pockets on the vertical tapes. Each one will have a width of 50 mm and a height of 125.
- In relation to the emblems and the legend of the back, on the left front pocket there will be a piece of Velcro yellow fluorine of 50 mm of high by 120 of width.
The right side of the chest will carry the oval of the Traffic Grouping in transfer typeface and with gray reflecting background of 65 by 50 mm.
The left sleeve will have the national flag, which should measure 55 mm wide and 25 high. In the back there will be module thermoses with the legend "Civil Guard Traffic" at three heights.
As it was told in these pages, it was not until 2012 when the zone guards of the Civil Guard allowed their agents to serve in the summer uniform, that is, with the short-sleeved polo. That year, due to the increase of the temperatures in some points of Spain, several troops had to be attended by the medical services. The most extreme case occurred in Leper, where an agent suffered a fading while driving the official vehicle. The car ended up colliding with another car.
For that reason, the Civil Guard ended this prohibition and shared in its official intranet a document titled 'Work with elevated temperatures', that was signed by the Service of Prevention of the Corps.
According to the text, the most dangerous of heatstroke is that "the symptoms are not noticeable until we run out of electrolytes" and advised the agents to "wear high visibility clothing."
