Finding the correct size belt does not have to be a “waisted” experience. For proper fit, choose one two sizes larger than your waist because of the weight the belt will carry. In addition, make sure all of the compartments are large enough to hold the equipment and items you expect them to hold.

Safe search police gloves are those that usually worn during home and auto searches. These are protective armor like gloves that are both needle and blade resistant. They are also splash resistant (in the case of bodily waste or chemicals) and have almost a half a foot of extra cuff protection.

Finding the right police or security flashlight can be tricky, as the bigger the light, the bigger the reflection and glare, which can end up interfering rather than helping. Fortunately there are new illumination technologies available that make police flashlights much more functional.

It's wise to consider the temperature when selecting uniforms for a police department or private security enterprise. Having different sets of uniforms for different seasons can sometimes be the best way to ensure officers are comfortable. Summer-weight uniforms can be lighter, while uniforms designed for winter can focus on layering for warmth.

While most police departments continue to prefer traditional uniforms, manufacturers are responding with new uniform designs that preserve traditional lines but feature advanced materials that wick moisture, fight odor and increase comfort.

Different styles of police uniform hats engender diverse reactions. A series of studies found traditional garrison caps or “Smokey the Bear” hats convey greater authority than baseball caps or no hat at all.

Lot-cut police footwear is appropriate if the officer is going to primarily be sitting down at a desk for long periods of time. Keep in mind that while these sho’s are extremely comfortable, they do very little if anything to support the ankle.

Leg chains (also called irons) are used in contemporary law enforcement when security is of the utmost concern. With leg chains you can expect ultra-tough fabricated stainless steel construction, heat-treated internal lock-work, and smooth swift ratcheting. Leg chains are also corrosion and tamper resistant.

The first nightsticks were the wooden truncheons carried by London police starting in the mid-1800s. For a long time these were the only options, but modern officers can choose other options such as side handle batons or expandable batons.

Many police officers and emergency response personnel prefer uniforms made from heavy duty cotton duck. Why? The fabric is comfortable, durable, and naturally fire resistant, but unlike man-made fibers it doesn't melt when exposed to high heat.

It may seem like a really bad idea, but there’s good reason most handcuffs use the same key pattern for all cuffs. Because someone being handcuffed doesn’t usually stay with the same officer throughout the process, having a universal key makes it easier for other officers to take off the handcuffs if they need to.

One of the problems with regular police ear protection is that it gets rid of all sound so that the officer has less of an idea of his or her surroundings. There are specialized ear muffs available that silence extreme levels of ambient noise while identifying and amplifying nearby voices to enable the officer to better engage.

Would you outfit your police department in blazers and a tie? During the 1970s, several different experiments were attempted that made the police uniform a blazer, tie, and slacks. While they made officers more approachable, they also cut down on the respect they got, and the idea was scrapped.

Badges add that proper note of authority, whether you are a member of a police force or your personnel are part of a security team. We can work with your ideas to create a distinctive design that sends the proper message.
