How do you lay out your duty belt?

[NRM_Oz]

South Aussie, is the same as New Zealand - CIT are allowed to carry .......... NOTHING perhaps a 3D Maglite. Even their police unless in special duties do not carry more than a pen and notebook and a set of cuffs.

[Penthrox]

No lol I as a CIT officer and I carry a Glock 17i.

I was just saying that I have never seen CIT guards carry a gun but only on a duty belt

Our police carry "guns" but they explode when they shoot them

Joys of using a necked down 357 round in a 38 I guess.

I can't stand a bunch of crap clanging around my waist (in and out of a SUV many many times every day/night), so I keep gear on the duty belt to a minimum and utilize cargo pouches and pockets as much as possible.

Anyways, from right front clockwise to left front.

Flex cuff channel mouth
OC
keeper
.45
hanger for drop leg M18 holster
keeper
2 keepers across my lower back
*
*
radio
keeper
flashlight ring
keeper
ASP baton
mag/mag
flex cuff channel mouth

keycards always in my top right shirt pocket (or around my neck)
remote vehicle starter/opener always in my left front trouser pocket (or around my neck with the card keys)
key ring always in my right front trouser pocket
cellphone always in my left trouser cargo pocket
smokes/lighter/ID always in my top left shirt pocket (ID sometimes around the neck as well)

tip for keeping stuff from spilling out of BDU trouser cargo pockets when sitting down, especially driving/riding: right pocket button right-side, left pocket button left-side. Likewise for the shirts: right side pocket, right side button, left side pocket, left side button. Keeps stuff from coming out when you bend down, wrestle, crawl.

I keep the flex cuff cutter in the truck.

So when you carry the straight baton do you carry the expandable also?

Not usually, but it depends what I am doing. I am a part time police officer, and when I am doing certain events I will wear it (like crowd control). The city I work in is a mid size suburb of a large city, and we get quite a bit of the negative element from the city.

That was also why I carried all my gear at the armored car place

Gun, cuffs, light?

They issue impact or chemical weapons to you guys?

[SecureTN]

On occasion we use Freeze+P, and we have wooden Riot Batons, but when on Patrol or Transportation runs, we don't carry them.

[Alaska Security]

from left to right starting from the buckle...

pager pouch
belt keeper
holster
belt keeper
double glove pouch

back is bare for patrol/stationary duty comfort

cuff case
key keeper
Stinger LED in light pouch
radio pouch attachment point
double mag pouch.



I might end up scooting the radio pouch to the back somewhere, I only wear it when I dismount the truck...

[ValleyOne]

Waaay over on the far right what the double holder for....?

Looks like two OC cases pushed together.

One for OC, one for DyeWitness?

[davis002]

Here is my duty belt...

[NRM_Oz]

Not sure about Maelstrom's state's laws but OC is not permitted in my state and our laws are verysimilar. Perhaps a Lighter and something some Life Savers ? LOL - could be dye marker which is legal in his state.

This reminds me of a fellow site manager who when working special events and sharing the ops work, would always come to work prepared with his duty belt loaded with up snacks (as no cuffs allowed and leather pouches are a pain to remove his cuff case and others were loaded up.). He always had Lifesavers, Jelly Beans, Starbursts and other things hidden away to munch on to keep and to keep us going on those lunch to dawn shifts, whilst another friend always had a small knife pouch on his duty belt for a spare lighter or 2 after I stopped smoking.

Here is my duty belt...

What brand belt is that, out of curiosity? I'm not familiar with that particular style... From the pic, it looks as if the pointed end overlaps a bit, placing your cuffs at about 10 or 11 oclock next to the taser?
