Chapel Hill, N.C. — Chapel Hill police are getting new body armor, often popularly referred to as bulletproof vests.
The City Council decided Monday night to combine $10,000 of the town's money with a federal grant for more than $10,000 to purchase the vests.
The body armor costs about $500 apiece. Such armor can stop some bullets, though it is not invulnerable to all firearm rounds.
