Garet, you are correct! I do work behind the walls of a prison.

Hey Tommy,

You must work behind the walls of a prison. I didn't see any references to a Taser, baton or a gun holster. That being said, you've got a MUCH lighter belt than I have.

On my belt, from the buckle and moving left to right:

double magazine holder

Caribiner holding duty gloves with reinforced knuckles

26" expandable baton with Hindi cap

keeper

Radio

(beneath the radio- and secured on my underbelt- are my Taser, 2 extra cartidges and my OC canister)

a smaller pair of steel S&W handcuffs

pouch for extra latex gloves

keeper w/hidden handcuff key attached

empty space

keeper

glove pouch

holster for duty weapon (Glock 19)

key holder clip

keeper

key holder clip

Peerless handcuffs (with a Tuff Tie handcuffs wrapped around them)

That's it.

I have a holster for my back-up in my right cargo pocket (my BUG is a Glock 26)

I run the wire for my mic and earpiece up through my shirt so that they are not exposed for inmates to f*ck with.

Question: in your dept., are you allowed to set the belt up however you choose or do they tell you what order they want everything in?

I'm amazed at how many officers DON'T carry TASERS or spray. I work in a municipal jail with less than 100 beds, but we are issued Freeze +P and X-26 TASERs. Both have served me well in dicey situations and I can't see working without them.
