Police officers should be allowed spit hoods as part of their kit.

Petition Details

At the moment police officers can only use a spit hood in the custody footprint ie in the yard, cage or in custody. Imagine having to do a hospital guard for 8 hours with someone spitting at you and constantly threatening to spit at you.

Additional Information
