Riot Shields are pieces of equipment frequently used by the Adeptus Arbites.[1]

These transparent circular shields have a diameter of about 2 feet, and are constructed of lightweight polycarbonate that offers protection against impact attacks and limited protection against many other types of assault. Because the shield is attached at the wrist, an Enforcer may prefer this shield over other protection, as it keeps his hand free to operate other equipment (such as a vox) or a pistol.[1]
