SUMMARY: The National Institute of Justice (NIJ) and the National

workshop focused on NIJ protective helmet standards. It is anticipated

    NIJ and NIST are hosting this workshop specifically to discuss with 
interested parties two existing protective helmet standards: NIJ 
Standard for Ballistic Helmets and NIJ Standard for Riot Helmets and 
Face Shields. NIJ and NIST are seeking to receive input, comments, and 
recommendations for developing a revised standard for criminal justice 
protective helmets. Participants are strongly encouraged to come 
prepared to ask questions and to voice suggestions and concerns.
    Space is limited at this workshop, and as a result, only 50
