One part gear, two parts philosophy our topic today is what I carry when I'm not working as a cop or security guard. As usual, my views aren't "cool" but I think you will find them interesting and maybe even learn something along the way.

What do cops keep in their trunks? Rifle? Plate carrier? Shotgun? Law books? Traffic tickets? Parking tickets? Let's take a look inside!

This "bulletproof vest" really takes a beating! Today we are testing the vest against a variety of ballistic threats and giving away a vest for free. Police officers, Security, EMS and public safety workers of all kinds need to have body armor for their protection.
The duty belt is just one small piece of our Police edc or security edc. Let's look at the whole picture...

BIO

 

 
IMG_20160901_143619.jpg

   Tommy is a 10 year municipal police officer working in the south Chicagoland area. In his former life he was a truck driver and worked at a Boy Scout camp. He works as a Field Training Officer (among other things) teaching new probationary officers the things the academy doesn't. He also works as a freelance security guard on the side.

   Free Field training was his brainchild. It started out as an experiment to make training videos on mundane law enforcement topics like how to take good notes and tell if money was fake so that he could save his voice instead of having to talk for eight hours a day and allow him to get his paperwork done.

   Tommy considers his greatest accomplishments to be the careers of the officers he has trained. He hopes one of them will be chief some day so that he can land a nice cush desk job his last few years on the force.
