nice video! but i do not understand why your department doesn't provides you with all that equipment... I don't think is fair that you have to buy your duty equipment...
You get whats called a uniform allowance. Ever year you get some money to buy gear. DOC gave us $900 when we started and $600 ever year after. What you do with that money is up to you. Most of my friends buy stuff online to save some of that cash.
Oh that sucks man. Yeah i'm about to step up to Phoenix PD this summer and then all get $1600 a year. I thought all states where like that. Maybe it's a Arizona thing.
As a police officer in Australia, I’m glad all the gear is issued to us, some stuff we get both the load bearing vest option and the tactical belt option.
A former NYPD officer saw how I have my duty belt set up and gave me the advice to keep as much gear away from my back as possible, I also used to have my TQ on my center back before he gave me a reason not to. Now I carry my TQ on my left side next to my radio, I can reach and apply it with either hand, and if I'm wearing my exterior plate carrier, I have a TQ on their as well... one high, one low!
Adding together the stuff you didn't know the price of: Taser (x26p):$990-$1100 Blackhawk taser SERPA holster:$30-$60 Motorola radio:$300-$450 AXON Body camera mount:$35 AXON Body camera:$350-$450 Freeze +P CS/OC (Defence spray): $20 Total of it should come down to a whopping $1,985 plus the previously mentioned $1,755 which all together will total $3,740 Firearm price can be accounted for by adding the price of the following: Glock 17:$600 Two spare magazines:$45 A Streamlight TLR 1:$125
907 574 alrighty I did a bit of research and found out the XTS 5000 is a discontinued radio but they used to run around $500 new so not too bad plus most departments get a contract discount.
I am a retired nurse, so what am I doing here? Well; we also have to buy some tools of the trade and I couldn't believe the dollar amount of yours. So I came to see what was up and stayed because of the direct and very smooth way you presented, you are good at making interesting videos. I hope you have an allowance for or get reimbursed for items they require but won't buy, Some places do and most places don't. You win. Yours are more expensive and very heavy! Plus yours are/can be life or death of YOURSELF if they don't function. Get quality stuff.
Hell, if you've got training with them, it's a great idea to carry as a civilian also, whether it be on your person or in your car or what have you. Could just save someone's life.
ABSOLUTELY. There are COUNTLESS stories of people saving their own life or the life of someone else because they had a TQ on them. Car accidents, camping accidents, hiking, industrial, what have you, TQs are not just for LEO/MIL. Everyone should have them and have some basic training on how to use them.
Radix Tactical I completely agree. I'm a police explorer for my town and I don't see any officers carry a TQ on their belt. Unless it's in their car, but it's still a great idea.
Tip for the radio - a Motorola Commander 2 mic is a great tool for the XTS5000. It allows for channel and volume adjustment directly from the shoulder mic. As well as a emergency button on the mic.
I work as security guard and my duty belt has one empty pouch to keep my cigarettes lol but I would stay in my job over any job, basically I get paid to sleep in cold dark room.
Christian Payne I do hospital security as well in the UK, we don't get none of that gear. Just our minds and our "physical intervention" abilities lol i carry a set of cuffs just in case but id get crucified if my boss found out. They even stopped us wearing stab vests so we would appear more "approachable"
Lefty here...Just gotta be patient. I swear by Safariland and they make great holsters for pretty much every conventional pistol a LE department will carry in both left/right hand models. Also, those Safariland "light bearing" holsters will fit a Streamlight TLR or Surefire X300 without and problem
Left handed and to add difficulty, from Argentina, so add a 0 to any price you guys pay. I wear plain clothes at work so for search warrants I use a level 2 left handed holster for my Bersa. The rest of the time a Houston internal holster. The rest is just being creative. Before getting the left handed holster I used a right handed level 2, I can shoot with both hands but feel more comfortable using my left hand.
Hey you should look at the Saflok Mk5 hinged handcuffs. My father works as a Police officer with the Queensland Police Service, Australia. He always carries 2 pairs of them at all times and even has a pair sometimes when off duty. They're really awesome cuffs and provide so much control over cuffed offenders especially when they play up. I know first hand when helping out arresting offenders when I've done what you call ride along not allowed here but have done them. Also look at load bearing vests as they're also great at taking the weight off your waist and belt. Reduces back injuries etc as well. I can provide pics and websites for you if you would like.
+Corey Dark I'm planning on having hinged as well as chain. I have both and they both serve their purpose. As far as load bearing vests go, I'd love to have them but my department does not approve them.
Since 2009, DC police officers were issued Motorola APX6000, retail back then in 2009 was around $7,000 a piece and they had about 4,000 cops. You do the math!
big thing with the sammy belt....unless you got big hips, get tac suspenders! i had to learn this the hard way and ended up with a bad sore on my gun side hip. once i got the suspenders, things were far far better...not to mention my back and hips had virtually no weight bearing on it (very comfy!)
Hey Brother, I work in SC and rust is a problem here as well. I learned a long time ago as a Marine in SE Asia to Turtle wax my gear. Yes Turtle Wax. I not only wax my cuff but the shotgun and rifle in my truck have not been oiled for a year and are rust free. Not only that but the work 100% too. Give it a try.
The only thing you should EVER have in the small of your back on your belt is a glove pouch. If you have anything else there and you fall you will injure your spine?
+michael stelljes because the small of your back is where your spine is...theres plenty of guys who have been hurt or even paralyzed from carrying there
he's right, a lot of guys with time on would say the same thing, you should move all your gear to the left and right side of the belt as much as possible and keep the back as clear as you can. I have the surgical glove pouch on the small of my back, a second pair of cuffs towards the right side of my back and a tactical flashlight on the left side of my back. everything else is at the sides and front
Outside of freak accidents, the real issue with carrying bulky items in the rear of your duty belt is long term deterioration of your lumbar. Just from sitting in the cruiser and having your lumbar bowed outward. I used to carry a tourniquet on my 6 and now it just goes in my cargo pocket. I look less cool but my back feels a thousand percent better
Dang my department issues everything except the flashlight is a small one. We can buy a larger one if we want. We also have to have basket weave on our belt and all attachment that are leather. We also use the Gen4 Glock 22.
Could just be the way the belt was laid out but his taxer handle appeared to block his mag holder. Dude seems squared aware so I’m sure he has take that into consideration.
i worked in EU as a LEO for 4 years and we were not recommended to carry anything on our backs. Not only not recommended but on inspection you would fail one for carrying anything. Probably because of injuries when you fall
I just started at a police department and left front he sheriffs office. The Pd issues everything; However, all the equipment is either used and work out, or new and cheap. So I have to spend my own money to buy stuff I want becuase I’m a gear snob and when it comes to my life, I want the best
Get rid of the rust prone cuffs. On my adseg unit the cowboys shower cuffed up. Peerless makes hi humidity cuffs for that application. Keep 'em cuffed.
I hate Sam Brown. I carry a Safariland belt. Sam Brown wears out too fast for my taste. I always swear by Surefire taclights. I used a streamlight and that thing broke. So much for going the cheap route. I carry Peerless handcuffs. Best cuffs I ever used. Nice set up overall.
The department should give you guys an initial allowance for purchase of all that shit. Say $2,000 and you’d be required to have say the above mentioned in the video. Then “at least” a bi annual allowance adjustment, let’s say $1,000 for all the broken down/worn out kit you’ve got and updated/new age equipment that’s out. Basically to offset you guys from continuously having to buy your own shit. This is like asking our teachers to buy school books for our children and not reimburse them, but it comes out of there pay check = unacceptable. Just tell me who to complain to and were to send my letter of disapproval
which model benchmade is that and sheath? I run a tdi kabar with my duty belt but I love the set up you had with that Paticular blade in your magpouch might get u killed video
Nice set up, but... But based in my experience, I like to give you my opinion about your belt. I think to have gear in the spine line, specially handcuffs, is too risky. If you fall in to your back, you may hurt yourself in a critical place. You don't have leather/anti cut gloves in your belt, maybe you carry them in another place, but I think it's critical to have your hands protected. And last, but not least, the tq that you carry in your back, could be very difficult to access if you get injured in a leg, or if you were laying on your back. You know, your 30sec window for placing yourself the tq runs out very fast, so every second count. And the back, may be not the ideal place for me. For example, I'm carrying it in a eleven10 kydex holsters,attached to my safariland 6004 dropleg plate, In the front of my body, and another tq in my personal body armor pocket. One TQ in the left side, and another in my right. Any way, this is only my opinion, always from the professional respect, I'm glad to discuss any belt setup with all of you. I'm always open to learn an improve. Regards to everyone from Spain
Is your magazine an extended base plate or an actual extended magazine? This is the first video I have seen of yours and I am impressed, gonna have to check out more! Going to share with a few of my fellow LEO buddies. Stay frosty brother. Liked and subbed.
I appreciate the kind words. As for your question, the magazine is a regular Glock 17 magazine with a Taran Tactical Base plate. We have a video on these as well, feel free to check it out for more info!
If your having problems with your cuffs rusting, i would recommend a spray called ACF50, I'm not sure if its available in the US but we have it in the UK so i don't see why not, also Silicone lubricant is best for the catch release. You probably knew that already but never hurts to share.
Im a cop in germany we can customize only our Holster and knifes... And i wish we can also use our guns in duty. Our standard gun is a HK VP9 with an extra mag
Hi, great video.. I was wanting to find those exact handcuffs that you purchased from a local dealer.. if the handcuff brand doesn't come to mind could you share the dealers name... thank you...
great video and duty belt set up you should put some items like the taser the TQ flash light and m4 pouches on your vest. your back should be clear unless you don't mind breaking your spine when falling on your back while fighting with a subject.
Just realized that the actual duty belt doesn't look very bulky on the waist but laid down on a table it looks like there is a lot of tools to defend yourself/aid you in certain situations. Did you ever find the duty belt ever heavy or bulky in any situation?
Heavy, yes. It’s something you eventually become *somewhat* comfortable with. You certainly feel it during long shifts or if you’re very tired, then it feels like 100 pounds. As far as bulk goes, going through tight spaces, getting in and out of certain cars, and climbing through windows are the first thing to come to mind. Ideally, my old department should have adopted the vest which allows to take gear off your waist and onto the vest.
Question: why do you have to keep your taser on support side? Would it not make sense to have it as a cross draw stored in front of your gun and train on the taser with your off hand? That way you could draw it with left hand and still have your dominent hand ready to draw your gun without having to reholster the taser (which takes precious time) or without dropping the taser to quickly draw you gun?
No leatherman? Every cop here has one (Belgium) they wear flak vests all the time, have zipties, pressure bandages and multitools on them. Alongside Led Lensers or Maglites. Seen a lot of led lensers. Guess our guys replace the taser with a multitool.
Belgium sounds like a blast. I have a SOG multitool that I kept in my bag. I never used it enough to keep it on my person, but it stayed nearby in my car.
Most departments such as the one here,gives each deputy a monthly allowances,it will cover personal items such as on duty flashlights,weapon attachments,basic gear such as ammunition and mags,but also covers dry cleaning,does yoyr department provide that?
Nope. No allowance. Story was they shared it with the city workers (aka trash men and street cleaners) who abused it, demanded more, and the response from the city was to pull the allowance entirely.
I love the set up to i agree with he other Poster i would never put something on the small of my back if you get hit and hit the ground really hard you could do nerve damage to your back. but i looks great and as for a leather will it not bleed in really hot weather ?
+Scott Alderman Luckily the cuffs as well as the tourniquet are low enough where there would be no issue (and I've suffered a couple tumbles). Though I agree, it is not ideal. Many departments are progressing to load bearing vests, which is a much better choice. As far as the leather bleeding, I work in the south, heat and humidity are abundant and I've had yet to have any issues!
Holy crap! That is a lot of equipment. How long does it take you to get dressed in the morning? Going to the bathroom (#2) must be a real joy. heh Thank you for serving the public and please stay safe!
Those handcuff cases are bad ass. I realize this is an old video, but if you happen to see this comment I would love to know the name of the shop that you bought them from so I can order some.
Hello first nice video I am new in law-enforcement I am start working in 4 weeks and I actually was asked today what I won't wear we can choose between safariland or bianchi ? What you would prefer ?
Most departments will not allow that now, generally due to the fact that there are much better weapons platforms available. For example, if you were to get into a critical incident situation, would you rather have 5 rounds at the ready, or 17?
Not to pricey- you could be a mechanic and spend that much to buy a tool box. So to secure all those expensive tools you have to buy. The bad part is it wears out with daily use. So every few years you have to replace it.
+Radix Tactical Right, as I'm well aware. I suppose my point is that using that in a video that is aimed towards showing interested people about a duty setup might be slightly misleading. As I'm sure you know, in 95% of departments that would be a no-go.
Which is why I expressly stated twice "Check with your departments rules and regulations". Nothing misleading about a set up that I use on a daily basis.
+Nathan Strange I appreciate it, and fully agree. It never ceases to amaze how many officers don't take that aspect of their job seriously and seek more training. A massive majority of officers across the nation are already poorly trained in that defense, and a majority of that majority refuse to learn. That's pretty dangerous for someone who carries that tool on their hip every day.
Man I would invest in a thick and wider quality leather inner belt. Idk how you are using that cheap little nylon pants belt to hold all of that gear securely
The thinner belt kept everything closer, and tighter to the body. The belt keepers are extremely high quality, and do more to secure the gear than the 5.11 nylon belt. In all, having run, jumped, dove, fell, rolled, fought, through windows, on streets, etc etc etc, everything was incredibly secure.
They issue us everything we “need” however, that happens to be a old school maglight that has less illumination power than a bic lighter, wooden batons, non light bearing holsters, Velcro pouches, one set of handcuffs, etc, etc.
If I remember correctly it was around 25-30lbs potentially more. - I did not wear anything, just put up with bruised hips and sore back. Belts are an extraordinarily outdated and inefficient means of carrying gear.
@@RadixTactical i also have another question as a police officer do you have to know the areas of the places you patrol or do you have some sort of gps?
Both. I'm not aware of any department or even any system that shows automatically where your beat boundaries are. You should know your beat and other beats intimately, but it's also helpful to have a GPS for other reasons.

nice video! but i do not understand why your department doesn't provides you with all that equipment... I don't think is fair that you have to buy your duty equipment...
Most would agree!
You get whats called a uniform allowance. Ever year you get some money to buy gear. DOC gave us $900 when we started and $600 ever year after. What you do with that money is up to you. Most of my friends buy stuff online to save some of that cash.
Not all departments provide uniform allowance. Mine would be one that doesn't.
Oh that sucks man. Yeah i'm about to step up to Phoenix PD this summer and then all get $1600 a year. I thought all states where like that. Maybe it's a Arizona thing.
In my country just only Glock 19 I spent 3200$ 😆
I love how you can buy most police gear on amazon
Super handy aint it? Just have to be aware of the cheap knock off stuff.
Zack's Vlogs yeah boy
Cheaper too does the same thing
As a police officer in Australia, I’m glad all the gear is issued to us, some stuff we get both the load bearing vest option and the tactical belt option.
A former NYPD officer saw how I have my duty belt set up and gave me the advice to keep as much gear away from my back as possible, I also used to have my TQ on my center back before he gave me a reason not to. Now I carry my TQ on my left side next to my radio, I can reach and apply it with either hand, and if I'm wearing my exterior plate carrier, I have a TQ on their as well... one high, one low!
Adding together the stuff you didn't know the price of:
Taser (x26p):$990-$1100
Blackhawk taser SERPA holster:$30-$60
Motorola radio:$300-$450
AXON Body camera mount:$35
AXON Body camera:$350-$450
Freeze +P CS/OC (Defence spray): $20
Total of it should come down to a whopping $1,985 plus the previously mentioned $1,755 which all together will total $3,740 Firearm price can be accounted for by adding the price of the following:
Glock 17:$600
Two spare magazines:$45
A Streamlight TLR 1:$125
Wish I had the ability to push this comment to the top of the list. Thanks!
You can! Just pin the comment.
XTS5000 new runs $2,369-$2,878 depending on if its a model 1,2,3. That price doesn't include hand mic.
907 574 wow! Not a huge radio guy so I compared it to mine. That's a pretty substantial price for a radio.
907 574 alrighty I did a bit of research and found out the XTS 5000 is a discontinued radio but they used to run around $500 new so not too bad plus most departments get a contract discount.
this is an awesome video man. I'm in college and i want to become a police officer. I really enjoyed the easy step be step and price guide

Tactical Tim where do I get this handcuff holder at online? Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
Great well explained video. I carry a pistol, baton, stun gun, and pepper spray twice a day so needed some good advice on setting up a belt
Happy to help!
Tourniquet on the belt is a great idea. Awesome video, stay safe out there.
Hell, if you've got training with them, it's a great idea to carry as a civilian also, whether it be on your person or in your car or what have you. Could just save someone's life.
ABSOLUTELY. There are COUNTLESS stories of people saving their own life or the life of someone else because they had a TQ on them. Car accidents, camping accidents, hiking, industrial, what have you, TQs are not just for LEO/MIL. Everyone should have them and have some basic training on how to use them.

At least I can hug, cover and clear right corners & rooms

I'm left handed and the holster I go with with is a blackhawk serpa level 3 holster. I'll never use a different one unless I have to...
Left handed and to add difficulty, from Argentina, so add a 0 to any price you guys pay. I wear plain clothes at work so for search warrants I use a level 2 left handed holster for my Bersa. The rest of the time a Houston internal holster. The rest is just being creative. Before getting the left handed holster I used a right handed level 2, I can shoot with both hands but feel more comfortable using my left hand.
Trex arms appendix IWB holster. Custom made to fit your firearm so there's a lead time of 4-6 weeks (only downfall).
Dakota Ravenheart plenty of companies do custom work for cheaper than safariland and it's made to fit your gun.
the radio is probably going to be close to 2-5k, depending on a lot of factors.

I really like the idea of having a fixed blade carried on the inner belt. Thanks for the idea.

If your having problems with your cuffs rusting, i would recommend a spray called ACF50, I'm not sure if its available in the US but we have it in the UK so i don't see why not, also Silicone lubricant is best for the catch release. You probably knew that already but never hurts to share.
I actually was not aware, I'll look into it! Thanks!
Imma come back to this video when imma cop
wait officers can use knifes for self defense?
Just like a civilian, officers can do whatever is necessary to protect their life.
Knives, butt stocks, last weeks' donut, all is fair is love and war.
Taser x26 fully equipped costs +/- $1200
Could cut cost down a bit by making some of the holders out of kydex. Light weight , doesn’t flex or crack under pressure , and it’s more affordable
Im a cop in germany we can customize only our Holster and knifes... And i wish we can also use our guns in duty. Our standard gun is a HK VP9 with an extra mag
I know in the uk this is different but this is actually a good video going over all tools etc. Not all this English kids with bad graphics
Hi, great video.. I was wanting to find those exact handcuffs that you purchased from a local dealer.. if the handcuff brand doesn't come to mind could you share the dealers name... thank you...
It's Smith and wesson m100
The taser is probably the most expensive item on the belt, the X26P goes for $1,000+ MSRP with the camera.
great video and duty belt set up you should put some items like the taser the TQ flash light and m4 pouches on your vest. your back should be clear unless you don't mind breaking your spine when falling on your back while fighting with a subject.
Just realized that the actual duty belt doesn't look very bulky on the waist but laid down on a table it looks like there is a lot of tools to defend yourself/aid you in certain situations. Did you ever find the duty belt ever heavy or bulky in any situation?
Heavy, yes. It’s something you eventually become *somewhat* comfortable with. You certainly feel it during long shifts or if you’re very tired, then it feels like 100 pounds. As far as bulk goes, going through tight spaces, getting in and out of certain cars, and climbing through windows are the first thing to come to mind. Ideally, my old department should have adopted the vest which allows to take gear off your waist and onto the vest.
How do you sit in the car with all that gear?
Carefully.
Thanks for the tips. Rookie over here :)
I love all equipment for professional Job that great.
Question: why do you have to keep your taser on support side? Would it not make sense to have it as a cross draw stored in front of your gun and train on the taser with your off hand? That way you could draw it with left hand and still have your dominent hand ready to draw your gun without having to reholster the taser (which takes precious time) or without dropping the taser to quickly draw you gun?
Our rules and regulations state that the taser must be on the opposite side of the duty weapon.
No leatherman?
Every cop here has one (Belgium) they wear flak vests all the time, have zipties, pressure bandages and multitools on them. Alongside Led Lensers or Maglites. Seen a lot of led lensers.
Guess our guys replace the taser with a multitool.
Belgium sounds like a blast. I have a SOG multitool that I kept in my bag. I never used it enough to keep it on my person, but it stayed nearby in my car.
Hi, correction to my request ... the item in question is the handcuff holders..
The handcuff holders I believe are "bulldog". If I remember correctly they are made somewhere in AL. The shop is local as well, just one in existence.
On amazon it’s almost 900$ and 863 I’m talking about the taser btw
The taser itself is more than half the total price of the guy’s setup.
I personally like it not too much on belt and nothing on the back area due to back issues.
Also know as Batman's Belt
can you do a video about belt keepers on how to separate your equipment using belt keepers
We can look into it for sure!
For Motorola radios. Usually the model number is close to the price. So that radio is probably around 4K-6k
Good to know!
do cops get too choose what gun they carry?
It depends on the department.
i would reccomend checking out Bob Hindi's belt system.
Ive skimmed some of his stuff before, I will definitely give it a deeper look.
Most departments such as the one here,gives each deputy a monthly allowances,it will cover personal items such as on duty flashlights,weapon attachments,basic gear such as ammunition and mags,but also covers dry cleaning,does yoyr department provide that?
Nope. No allowance. Story was they shared it with the city workers (aka trash men and street cleaners) who abused it, demanded more, and the response from the city was to pull the allowance entirely.
I love the set up to i agree with he other Poster i would never put something on the small of my back if you get hit and hit the ground really hard you could do nerve damage to your back. but i looks great and as for a leather will it not bleed in really hot weather ?
+Scott Alderman Luckily the cuffs as well as the tourniquet are low enough where there would be no issue (and I've suffered a couple tumbles). Though I agree, it is not ideal. Many departments are progressing to load bearing vests, which is a much better choice.
As far as the leather bleeding, I work in the south, heat and humidity are abundant and I've had yet to have any issues!
that whas intresting Thanks Sir!
Holy crap! That is a lot of equipment. How long does it take you to get dressed in the morning? Going to the bathroom (#2) must be a real joy. heh
Thank you for serving the public and please stay safe!
You're right, it's a major pain! But after a while you get a decent rhythm going...
Just take your pants off and keep the duty belt on the pants and rewear them...save yourself 45 minutes 😂😂
Taser holsters like that run 50$, and it’s bullshit your department tells you where you have to carry your taser... it should be what works for you.
Those handcuff cases are bad ass. I realize this is an old video, but if you happen to see this comment I would love to know the name of the shop that you bought them from so I can order some.
MACS Uniforms out of Birmingham AL. I’m not sure if they ship out but it’s worth a call.
You have to buy ur own equipment????? I thought the police station provides it for you.
+jj rey It depends on the department.
Solution to rusty cuffs. Buy aluminum ASP Cuffs.
Can you show how you wear your fixed blade under your duty belt??
Hello first nice video I am new in law-enforcement I am start working in 4 weeks and I actually was asked today what I won't wear we can choose between safariland or bianchi ? What you would prefer ?
+Kevin Sweeny for which equipment.
Kevin Sweeny I personally think bianci is the best fora all my equipment
So if your taser is required to be on your left. What if your a left hand shooter?
Per that particular departments rules and regulations, the taser is to be on the opposite side of your handgun, right or left.
Plan on being HPD SWAT love police videos liked and subbed
Happy to have you!
Thanks for the reply! Also I have a question what's your opinion on carrying a revolver for your on duty belt?
Most departments will not allow that now, generally due to the fact that there are much better weapons platforms available. For example, if you were to get into a critical incident situation, would you rather have 5 rounds at the ready, or 17?
Radix Tactical I agree! thank you for everything and thank you for the reply
I’m not so sure the way you have the tazer does it get in the way of grabbing the mags?
No
Not to pricey- you could be a mechanic and spend that much to buy a tool box. So to secure all those expensive tools you have to buy.
The bad part is it wears out with daily use. So every few years you have to replace it.
Baton is the best
Where can I find those exact cuff holders I can’t find them anywhere
Your tazer alone costs $1799 and it's holster is $35.
A Glock with a magwell and an extended baseplate?!?!? Hah, good luck getting that past a department....
+Nathan Strange Each department has its own rules and regulations. Mine and several others in the nearby area approve this set ups
+Radix Tactical Right, as I'm well aware. I suppose my point is that using that in a video that is aimed towards showing interested people about a duty setup might be slightly misleading. As I'm sure you know, in 95% of departments that would be a no-go.
Which is why I expressly stated twice "Check with your departments rules and regulations". Nothing misleading about a set up that I use on a daily basis.
+Radix Tactical Fair enough. It's good at least to see an officer who is actually a shooter. Its amazing how many aren't.
+Nathan Strange I appreciate it, and fully agree. It never ceases to amaze how many officers don't take that aspect of their job seriously and seek more training.
A massive majority of officers across the nation are already poorly trained in that defense, and a majority of that majority refuse to learn. That's pretty dangerous for someone who carries that tool on their hip every day.
Is the high speed gear pouch specifically a tourniquet pouch or a magazine pouch which fits the tourniquet?
Mag pouch that fits the tourniquet. It also fits small flashlights, multi tools, and almost anything you can think of. Phenomenal product.
I really liked the set up, I'm just not a fan of putting stuff in the small of my back.
I doubt a Nylon TQ will hurt anything if you fell on your back
Man I would invest in a thick and wider quality leather inner belt. Idk how you are using that cheap little nylon pants belt to hold all of that gear securely
The thinner belt kept everything closer, and tighter to the body. The belt keepers are extremely high quality, and do more to secure the gear than the 5.11 nylon belt. In all, having run, jumped, dove, fell, rolled, fought, through windows, on streets, etc etc etc, everything was incredibly secure.
I can’t believe a department expects their officers to purchase their own equipment. Our department issues everything
They issue us everything we “need” however, that happens to be a old school maglight that has less illumination power than a bic lighter, wooden batons, non light bearing holsters, Velcro pouches, one set of handcuffs, etc, etc.
How much does that weigh? Do you wear any suspenders or anything to help distribute the load?
If I remember correctly it was around 25-30lbs potentially more. - I did not wear anything, just put up with bruised hips and sore back. Belts are an extraordinarily outdated and inefficient means of carrying gear.
Hello, I am a member law enforcement French, for comparing, Which is the middleweight of a belt? Thank
If you’re asking the average weight of a duty belt, I wouldn’t be able to tell you, they all differ.
Hi, so im looking to become a cop and Is it a good idea? It seems you have to buy most of the stuff you use for on-duty is this true?
It’s all dependent to the department. Some departments provide everything, some are like my old one where I had to buy everything.
@@RadixTactical i also have another question as a police officer do you have to know the areas of the places you patrol or do you have some sort of gps?
Both. I'm not aware of any department or even any system that shows automatically where your beat boundaries are. You should know your beat and other beats intimately, but it's also helpful to have a GPS for other reasons.
Why does the taser link come up with a little pink stun gun lol
Cause amazon doesn’t sell the taser from the video. So I posted the next best thing.
When will you do duty belt update ?
How does your back feel? From people I’ve known they hate things on their back
Personally I think people blow it out of proportion. I never had any issues.
If were a police officer do we have to buy all the equipment or do they give it to us?
That would be dependent on the department. Some give minimal equipment and some will give everything you need.
Mine provided everything but you can buy other equipment if you want something different
Can you please show us how the taser works?
That not something we would normally cover, but we may be able to provide a demonstration in the future!
thank you
No lapel mic on that radio? Cool vid
Also, I feel your pain regarding the black handcuffs. My black peerless cuffs need constant oiling in the humid summer months
Ok so your taser is probably a little over $1,000 and 5he. The holster about $45
