Highly recommend spraying your body armor liner with waterproof spray. Keeps the moisture from entering the fabric and prevents the smell. I do this once a year and you wont have the bo

[@Justthatofficer]

Great idea! Thanks for sharing

[@Davidg368]

What brand do you recommend I'm in middle ga humidity is horrible

[@Realmisterwolf]

Like stochbrite?

[@vicentemendoza1668]

I recommend the write in the rain note pad the paper is wax paper which makes it water proof

[@658webster]

Only change I would make is advising against using black nitrile gloves. Go for a color like purple or blue if you have to buy your own. When doing trauma care (if that's something your dept. does) it's harder to see blood on black, especially when doing wound sweeps in the dark. Everything else (especially the hand sanitizer) was spot on!

[@Justthatofficer]

Good thinking I’ll pass it on to my department to see if they can switch them up

[@daddybeagleaz907]

​@@Justthatofficerours are light green

[@Rio..o7..]

also could throw rubber/latex gloves over the nice gloves when possible

[@matthewdethlefson586]

Yeah but black is tactical. Everything must look cool!

[@darrellmartinez16]

In my city’s police department they barely issue anything to their officers. Officers need to buy their duty weapons, handcuffs, batons, flashlights and a lot of other stuff, even their belts. The department only issues the uniforms, vests/plate carriers, and tasers.

[@nickduszak5004]

The best note pads imo are rite in the rain, they come in different sizes but obviously as the name suggests the best part is you can use it in the rain which would seem helpful

[@tugboat_actual]

I carried 2 sets of gloves. Think machanix gloves for people who dont amber turds and roll around in it. And latex type gloves for the ones who roll. Hand sanatizer, get a bottle of rubbing alcohol, keep it in the door. Most hand sanatizer now leaves a film, and that plus steering wheel was not fun. One handcuff key i made manditory was a belt keeper key and put the keeper under the belt. So if hostage and they take the belt, you still have the hidden one. One manditory item was caffine pills for nights.

[@Justthatofficer]

I like it! Thanks for sharing brotha 🤙

[@isaiahschlagel]

I do the same thing with gloves. That's the way to go for sure

[@smirkingdevil]

Thanks for the video! Some of your ideas and the comments will be incorporated into my earthquake preparedness kit. Also, I suggest you swap your "keeper" pen to the Zebra F-701 with a Fisher Space Pen refill. The F-701 still uses a plastic inner tube to hold everything together, but the outside is all stainless steel.

[@daddybeagleaz907]

You've got me sold on the Nightstick lights, I'm going to add a polymer one to the Powertac which sits on my belt.

[@OAMSolutions]

Thank you so much for the Arrest My Vest shout out!

[@vicepresidentmikepence889]

•I prefer the note pads that flip open from the top, not the one you showed • I agree about the gloves, for the exact reason you said. I don't even carry real gloves, anymore, just latex gloves • I only use the cheap, small hand cuff keys you showed. And now, I only keep them in my wallet, because I got tired of losing them. Unlike handcuffs, which you need right away, handcuff keys you never need right away

[@valberlin9239]

Good list. The earpiece isn't just so suspects can't hear what's coming thru. I wear earpiece because of noisy environments. Trust me, it doesn't matter how high your volume is, in a certain environment where people are screaming, loud music etc, you won't hear S*-#&$T from dispatch, and they hate repeating things. 😁

[@Justthatofficer]

💯 it’s also great for FTO so your recruit doesn’t echo the mics.

[@jasonstreamcast]

@@Justthatofficer Guilty of this, My FTO hated me for it. He would forget to turn down the radio and tell me next time let him know when im about to speak.

[@StRodrigous]

😊😊

[@zr9102]

With the gloves if it’s a subject like that I just put the nitrile gloves we get over the search gloves. It’s worked so far. Started doing that after that exact situation happened 👍🏻stay safe bro!! Also get some small binder clips for the notepad, helps prevent the pages from ripping when putting back in a pocket also can clip a DL/ID to it when taking down info.

[@Justthatofficer]

Smart! Thanks for the tip

[@ThatGuy0113]

My favorite under shirts have been the Target active shirts. I think it's "in motion" or something like that. I'm wearing one now, but I'm not taking my stuff off to see. Favorite shirts ever.

[@Justthatofficer]

I know what your talking about lol . Target has great active wear. I’ll try to find some of those.

[@daddybeagleaz907]

Interested as well, but we don't have a Target in my town (AZ), so can you order them online instead?

[@SL-cr6rm]

I have Under Armour gloves for day to day use. and a wad of nitrile gloves for the transient covered in who knows what. AND couple of XL Nitrile gloves in case I need to layer up for the REALLY bad ones lolol

[@Justthatofficer]

Lol you’re set my friend! Thought about nitrile over the nice ones, but just east to keep the nitrile in my pocket and pull it when needed.

[@daddybeagleaz907]

@@Justthatofficer I thought of the same thing

[@G_Weezy]

Nice gloves for the fights in progress. When I go to Medicals I use the nitrile.

I carry a notepad on my vest pocket. I work armed security and take notes on my calls for report. I'm looking at earpieces for my shoulder microphone currently. Great video

Have you seen the metal clipboards that hinge in half, I got one for my lady with veterinarian related lingo and knowledge on it for work but they have plain ones I’m sure. Folds up and takes half the space

Hi thanks for sharing this interesting Video Content and have nice week ahead too.

[@Justthatofficer]

Thank you! You as well 😎

[@isaiahschlagel]

My agency issues N-Ear 360 fiber optic earpieces. They are so much better than the air tube earpieces in audio quality, volume control, and comfort. They are pretty pricey, but it is definitely money well spent.

[@jonathancasmus2671]

You must work somewhere with good weather. A write in the rain notbook is necessary for me. Unless i want all my notes gone in a sudden downpour.

[@Justthatofficer]

Those are a great choice too. Usually good till about 5pm then the sky falls.

[@user-sh2un6qr9z]

same i just never got the rite in the rain pen lol

[@ryzezee8543]

You can wear black latex gloves underneath those "slice-proof" gloves

[@user-dm5dm7ql6f]

Not opposed to writing anything down. But with modern body cams, do you have easy access to that video to recount and record notes from later after the interaction? Just asking.

[@pentakapproved_media]

The filing system is interesting... What if we don't have a take home car though?

[@Justthatofficer]

You’ll just have to move it into your car. I put a mobile one in the description. There are also larger seat organizers that could hold them as well.

[@G_Weezy]

I have one for my duty bag. I purchased a filing system and just placed it in there.

[@security29]

I use cheap gloves for 3$ from the dollar store down the hardware Isle, my security company didn't issue me handcuffs, I bought my own what are your thoughts on carrying them bro ? I carry a tactical pen for my self I use cheap pens for other people to use and keep after

[@Justthatofficer]

Depends on if you are allowed to carry and use them in your line of work.

[@daddybeagleaz907]

I take the same approach with pens, Space Pen for myself and a cheap stick pen beside it for loaners

wow

Add a pocket sized Constitution to this list. Some of you need to brush up.

[@sgtbarnes1316]

I disagree with the earpiece, or better yet I am indifferent to it. If my safety takes a complete turn because if my radio then I fucked up a long time ago. I have used them in the past, but stopped because of a couple fights I got into. The earpiece came out and I couldn't hear the radio. Since I identified it as a problem for myself, I eliminated the problem.

[@Justthatofficer]

I can see that, but if I’m in a fight I can care less about the radio traffic on the other end. Handle business then worry about the radio. I don’t use an earpiece now due to having one that has to connect to a helmet, but I loved it when I was training new recruits as I never had to worry about the radio echo.
