Just as the title says, how do you lay yours out? Pictures would be helpful.

How do you lay out your duty belt?

I keep everything away from my back area. I found that even a glove pouch can hurt when you sit for a number of hours. At first, you set up to look good. After awhile, when you start hurting, you'll realize that comfort is up there on the priority list.Security: Freedom from fear; danger; safe; a feeling of well-being. (Webster's)

A good inner belt helps with balance but I also was told to go for 6 belt keepers because they help to hold your heavier gear around your waist. Depending on your requirements, you need to consider:
1. Where you will be working from (car or post)
2. What is going to snag on a chair or car seat
3. Do you need to carry so much gear
4. Are you up and down often or in and out of a car
Most police follow the 3 o'clock firearms and 4 o'clock baton holder right behind - but I am still a 9 o'clock baton and 9.30 cuffs user as is old school. Everything needs to be 2nd nature and be there for easy access and loading and if you carry a personal torch, you need to know WHERE it is. Lastly you don't want to leave anything behind.
FYI I have heard of police on sick leave due to 20lb duty belts causing back injuries (I won't comment here)."Keep your friends close and your enemies even closer" Sun Tzu

from buckle going clockwise:
pager case (keep 2 pairs of latex gloves in it)
silent key holder
oc
keeper
gun
keeper
single cuff case
single keeper in center of back
flashlight ring
flashlight holder (streamlight stinger)
keeper
radio
baton
keeper
baton ring (yes, I'm old school and still carry a wooden baton at times)
double cuff case
mags
Yes, it's a rather odd and unconventional setup, but it works for me and is comfortable. I used this when I was an armored car guard for just under two years, and I never had pain or discomfort from my duty gear.

Most CIT security in Australia wear a holster on a trouser belt but some do wear duty belts, with a holster, key fob, mobile phone pouch, latex gloves pouch and maybe a small torch. No handcuffs or OC spray (not permitted unless specifically required) and as this part of our industry is heavily unionised, not providing a 2nd pen would be grounds for striking as the union pushes for the provision of everything they want and get to."Keep your friends close and your enemies even closer" Sun Tzu

As far as cuffs go I carry 2-3 pairs both uniformed and plain clothes.
