Thin Shield – The brand name of the "magic" lining body armor that Roarke Industries developed for Eve and the NYPSD. She had been wearing a prototype, but in Encore in Death, Roarke presented Eve with an early anniversary gift of linings for her entire bullpen. Roarke Industries donated them, with the agreement that Homicide (Eve’s division) was outfitted first. When Eve and Roarke handed them out, she said, “I can tell you - from personal experience - it stops a sharp, a stun, and a bullet. It’s lightweight, and can - and will - go under your jacket just like your weapon, or your uniform top. Chief Tibble and Commander Whitney have accepted this donation to Homicide initially, and the whole of the NYPSD to follow, from Roarke Industries. I gratefully accept same as Lieutenant of this division.”[1]
