Nice to see our caring Police are concerned about their officers... Hummmm
It would have been easier and fairer, whilst during the interview and selection program for the Police Force to make sure that everyone will be able to use all standard equipment, if not goodbye.

Slightly off topic, I know but, British Airways will not employ you as a Pilot if you are over 1.91 Meters (6 foot 3 inches) as you will not fit inside the flight deck.

What would happen, if in the field of combat his gear gets destroyed, he won't be able just to grab another suit.

Gas masks and Oxygen masks, (the sort we use) are not recommended for people who have beards, because of the lack of a tight fit.

I am sorry but this officer could have become a casualty in the event of an emergency and therefore would not be able to carry out his duties. So transfer him or make him redundant.
