Extra socks in your duty bag instead of jumper cables, spring for a cheap jump box so you don't get your computer trying to jump a car Baby tearless shampoo in your gear bag for when you catch some overspray a dry erase marker and board, I used to Velcro mine on top of my laptop to write down notes or addresses Quick clip aligator magnets for the trunk of your car to help keep paperwork and ID's from blowing away during traffic stops. I stand behind the passenger side of my car during stops. A small clip on red light if you're a night officer, helps when trying to read paperwork and it's hands free. GPS, I don't care how well you think you know the area Hidden handcuff key Extra boot laces A small cargo box with folder organizers in your trunk, helps organize case files and such. I had 2 and is put my department issued paperwork like DOA, Trespasses, tow warnings, etc. in one with labels on it and my case files in the other, labeled by date of arrest or encounter. Plastic clipboards, I had 3, 2 had written statement forms inside them with extra pens, the other had copies of domestic violence pamphlets and order of protection instructions in it. Orange gloves for directing traffic, the orange doesn't blend in with the yellow vests and makes directing traffic much easier. Orange cone light if you're a night officer. Just buy stock in hand sanitizer and always ask EMS for extra gloves or if they can spare a box, they usually have more than enough and are willing to share. Super glue Black or navy blue thread and needle kit Aspirin and if you have bad allergies, over the counter allergy meds Small bottle of mouth wash, trust me lol there are times you'll wish you had it and it's not because your breath stinks... Air freshener for your car I always carried extra loaded magazines in my gear bag, luckily I only needed them once but nonetheless Extra handcuffs or a small bag of personnel zipcuffs I always carried hard rifle plates in a plate carrier that was clearly marked with Velcro Police or Sheriff on the front and back in huge bold lettering with a Velcro badge on the front too. This stayed in my trunk and was very easily accessible. I fitted it to don over my soft armor and it wouldn't mess with my earpiece or Mic controls. I know this all sounds like a lot, but it will easily fit in your trunk or in your gear bag seat organizer. Most of this is considered by me to be a luxury. It isn't something you need to go blow your academy pay check on but it is something I'd start acquiring while in FTO before you hit the road by yourself. Just remember, the first month on the road by hourself, your squad doesn't expect you to swim laps around them, but they do expect you to stay afloat and don't be afraid to ask for help. Better to ask for help than het yourself overwhelmed and caught up in a big mess...

Not a cop but while working for search and rescue in the coast guard a few things stuck out to me - Belt CPR kit( it has gloves and a valve mask). Usally a tiny square that I just stuck in my cargo pocket. Its significantly faster then digging around in your main first aid bag for a valve mask. - Headlamp ( awesome because they keep both hands free when looking for things/working in a dark environment)

Body cams aren’t needed. If you didn’t believe the police before, then a body cam won’t change your mind. How many times have people seen a guy with a gun get shot by the police and they still riot. Save the money and just realize people will always hate police. Once you realize the problem isn’t police but society.

I definetly suggest the leathermen raptor. Shears, glass breaker, seatbelt cutter, ring cutter, and oxygen tank wrench. It comes with a hard sheath that stows the raptor folded or deployed.

That is one of the best ideas I have ever heard. Though if the kid grew up learning that cops are out to kill you then they might be more scared of you because of it.

Tampons are the best. Officer401 talked about it. Its good for plugging wounds Other stuff 1. I don't remember the name of it but its a light you can clip onto your shirt pocket. Useful when writing tickets or notes in the dark. 2. Write in the rain note pad. Good for taking notes in the rain. It rains a lot here and sometimes you might have to take notes while its raining or snowing. Its sucks 3. Knife. A officer used his while in a life or death struggle with a suspect. The officer lost his gun and was on the ground fighting with the subject. He pulled out his knife and the rest is history. Also get a knife that has a window punch and seat belt cutter on it. Very Useful. 4. Spare flashlight because you never know. 5. Custom first aid kit. Build your own, put quick clot and other stuff in it for gun shot wounds. 6. Besides medical gloves carry some work gloves like military tactical gloves . They are awesome when it comes down to fighting with a suspect or handling a suspect

[@VictoryAviation]

Dakota Ravenheart no, they are NOT good for plugging wounds. A tampon is made to absorb blood, not stop it. I have four professional medical certs including TCCC (way more than what EMT’s know). TCCC is what swat medics train to do. For god’s sake don’t put tampons in your trauma kit.

[@Blackwolffe097]

I'm a firefighter aka a paramedic. They wont stop bleeding but they will slow it down.

[@mechwar31]

Actually in the military plugging a bullet wound with a tampon is a common thing. As the tampon absorbs blood it expands which places pressure on the interior of the wound track. It's not the tampon that stops the hemorrhaging, it's the pressure.

[@Blackwolffe097]

Several SOG multitools feature a double-pivot hinge that doubles the effective force you exert with the pliers, priced near $70. They might offer discounts for police, EMS, fire, etc...

Your list helped me assemble some goodies for the city's patrol officers after a recent active shooter incident. Tried to make arrangements to deliver everything to the Courthouse main PD Headquarters, but never could get thru to make arrangements. Maybe too soon, just a couple of weeks after. But I was able to connect with someone at a satellite Precinct station. The only item they weren't interested in was the dozen back scratchers. I wonder if those are more popular farther south.

Local country radio station worked with charitable organization that was working to supply them. I cannot remember the website they had set up or if it’s still operating, it was started by local people, but they worked to supply every department for all their officers all around the CSRA, Central Savannah River Area and further out though I’m not sure how far they went. They maybe still doing so but to my knowledge it’s not being promoted on air any more. It was called the “adopt a cop program” and the radio station I heard about it was Kicks 99

Allen Kennedy as a person with a background in law enforcement. Your job and life can be difficult if the higher ups don’t like you. The public puts pressure on you (which is fine) but it’s really demoralizing when your uppers criticize you for every little thing. Also the legislative branch in America has more control over the rank and file cop than one realizes. Cleaning up city council and the heads of the dept can do wonders

Not a police officer, but an EMT. Trauma shears might not be a bad idea to carry. Leatherman Raptors have the shears, ring cutter, seatbelt cutter, glass breaker, and an O2 wrench.

Baby wipes are miracles especially when you haven't taken a shower in a few days. Not by choice but by situation. Always need a ton of pens. One of the best investments you can make is a high quality tourniquet. Depending on your location I might add dip to the list. When on patrol dealing with local Nationals they don't want to deal with you. But, if you break out a drink maybe a snack, a cigarette or dip. They warm up and become more sociable.

Great tip about having a TQ readily available for use. Two things I would add ONLY use CoTCCC approved tourniquets. The RATS TQ is NOT TCCC approved and has been proven through extensive studies to continuously fail. The SOFT Wide IS approved. Secondly, do not keep the time strap over the windlass clip on the CAT TQ. I see multiple officers incorrectly store their TQ in this manner. When it comes time to use it, they need to take the unnecessary extra step of getting the time strap out of the way. This is an officer safety issue. Hope this helps.
