EOD suits aren't too bad. If it's the speed your worried about, there are a multitude of ways to combat this.
They're total bullet sponges too. They absorb spacker blasts like no tomorrow (but not derringers), and you can literally shrug off a pipebomb.
I do agree however that they should have SOME protection against the cold, because when you get to a depressurized room (which is often the case if there's bombing, the entire reason for the EOD), you are reduced to a crawl, and that blast with the spacetile underneath ya wracks up the damage badly. It shouldn't be spacesuit level protection of course, maybe 20% of what a spacesuit is, rather than the current 0% of what it is now.
As regards to the shield, I think it should work like the shields in LoZ, in that the shield is directional to the hand you are holding.
So for example if you were holding the shield in your left hand then you would be like this where T is the traitor, S is the officer and the arrow is the direction he
is facing.

This mean a traitor could be fast on his feet and shoot the officer in the side. It would also mean the officer wouldn't be really be able to move forward and corner him because that would mean opening up a way to shoot him.
