My updated Police Duty Belt & Vest! (Winter 2018)

[@jordanlampton7648]

Just seeing you in your vest and stuff makes me can’t wait to be a Police Officer I have a vision of what I want my uniform lay out to look like

[@kaznja2462]

Sir, im goin to the academy in 4 weeks. Thank you for every information u have provided.

[@clintsumalpong9083]

Honestly, look into getting a used Surefire. All of their lights are built like tanks and you can find gently used - moderately used ones for half of their retail. The 6PX and G2X lights are pretty easy to find and come in some nice output options. The Fury series is also great. I personally own the G2X Pro and 6PX Tac and both have taken falls over 15 ft and survived. If you're looking for rechargable solutions, check out the Olight M2R. Solid 1500 lumen variable output light that recharges (it also has a magnetic tailcap).

[@travismartin2379]

Try riding your leg holster a little higher. It will help when running. The higher it is the less the weapon will flop around when running.

[@Jacob-ri1tq]

Travis Martin I use a lower ride shank from safari land and I run it with the QLS system. I thread a T Rex arms thigh strap in between the QLS system and it keeps the gun from flopping up if I mess up my draw. Doesn’t move at all during foot pursuits. I tried the drop leg from safari land but it was uncomfortable in my patrol car.

[@loganjG35]

Higher holsters can hurt you while sitting in the car

[@Kam3L8]

By now, the best police gear set up video. I`d rather wear my radio on the left side, but that`s a thing of choice and preferences. You have very reasonable choices of pouches and other stuff. No kid with BB guns, 40 mag pouches on front or 8 pistol mag pouches and their "Oppinions" xD. No unnecessary junk or weight. Finally some useful police tactical vest set up and advices. I`m looking forward for your next video. Stay safe, Bro.

[@votemikejones86]

You have some good gear - that said I can't imagine how you don't have a better flash light. It's one of the most important tools for a LEO.

Emery Reigns blaze defense systems quick detach google it. Your welcome lol

[@iSPELLinAMERICAN]

Just so you know, for the plate carrier, they sell buckles for the shoulder straps (there's still velcro too). what i do is instead of sliding over my head and fixing the waist after. I only undo one side. It's a lot quicker to put on. Just a note because you said you hate having to adjust the waist belt.

[@VOLTZA]

i start my first police job December 10th, been in the process since July haha. Thanks for the helpful tips, stay safe brother.

[@sean-ks4el]

Hey man my name is Sean from the Bahamas, I plan on joining the Police Force after I graduate in March. I found your channel last weekend and I have been enjoying every bit of content you released in the past. Very inspiring man keep it up!

[@t.barringer6726]

What’s up . I just wanted to say your Policing Vid’s are great mann . Keep them coming . Definitely very informative & helpful .

[@EmeryReigns]

B Smooth glad to help bro

[@InkwellFoto]

Keep one side panel attached, so you only have to worry about strapping one. That's what I do with my vest to always have it in the same spot. I agree with the other comments about the holster being higher.

[@EmeryReigns]

Thanks for the input man, I used to do this with my old vest so I’ll start doing it with this one. Thanks man!

[@drunksincerity]

If you don’t like having to secure the straps on your vest every single time look into Blaze Defense Systems. They offer retrofit kits to add quick release buckles to the cummerbund. This way your best fits the same way every single time in seconds.

[@jeremiahmartinez5227]

I stumbled across this video by accident but it is pretty helpful. I myself am a security guard, we wear vests very similar to yours but what sucks is ours velcro in the back instead of the front. For bigger guys like me it's kind of a pain in the ass. Lol. Our departments road officers wear the dress shirt looking vests, not sure what they are called, and of course the military police wears the same vests as us.

[@MrGatorrHD]

your vest is sitting a little low. The little dip in the middle should be at about your collar bone. I'd recommend adjusting the straps on the shoulder a bit. Nice video man keep it up

[@darinization]

I agree vest is too low. Vests protect the heart and lungs not necessarily the abdomen.

[@OMACMedicFiveZero]

I have the EMS version with no molle and it works ok. I like the front closure velcro on this one, ours closes more on the sides. My SRT entry vest is a pain to put on alone. Luckily we have just received our new ones and they look a lot like this but with the iiia arm/shoulder armor. Look up the blaze defense system QD attachment. Instead of having to velcro the front flap every time it uses plastic cobra buckles. I have them on my personal plate carrier and have ordered another set for my entry vest. Saves time and once you adjust it its the same every time. Not sure what your dept SOP allows but nobody has noticed until I’ve mentioned it and the brass said its not a big deal!

[@shawnpickering3084]

A good budget tactical flashlight is the bushnell series. They have a 750 Lumen rechargeable model with 3 modes for about $50. Almost every Walmart carries them. Just an option for you to check out without breaking the bank

[@EmeryReigns]

Shawn Pickering thanks bro!

[@davidhunter9524]

As a couple guys mentioned, you should consider wearing the front of your vest higher. Pretty much needs to meet the top of your sternum. Protects your vitals better. And try removing the top strap of your thigh rig and shorten the drop length. Typically, you just want it to clear your vest. No lower. You could also look at the low ride belt attachment from Safariland and not mess with the straps at all. Its cheap enough to try. Not criticizing, just giving some input that was given to me. Stay safe!

[@thomasduering6408]

Hey I wanna thank you for all your tips and your videos they are awesome and help tremendously. I just wanna let you know your vest is sitting to low it should be up to your collarbone stay safe out there and be careful.

[@joblo1978]

What if you need to draw your gun with your left hand?

[@miletello1]

Just looking out for you man......you should wear your inner belt with the velcro. Wearing your belt tight WILL cause sciatic nerve problems. I did the same thing and my back was wrecked. The velcro on the inner belt will keep the gun belt from moving.

[@EmeryReigns]

Good job carrying that TQ! I bark at all my buddies who dont carry them. Be safe Brother!

[@marcfriedberg7419]

So I work in the East Coast of the US. I never understand why departments in New Jersey wear those pants with the yellow stripe down the seam. Also the light blue shirts. Really old school. Yet you can wear whatever outer carrier. I like your TQ pouch, where did you get it. I also use the drop leg but only one strap. Anyway I just subscribed because your vid is one of the few practical duty belt/vest set ups. I have 29 years of wearing that belt and I have just moved to an High Speed Gear duty belt because it has a gel part on the inside. It makes it super nice to wear. I also like the fact you are helping people to decide if they want a career in LE and helping them with the good and bad parts of the process. How can I get a hoodie that you are selling?

[@EmeryReigns]

Marc Friedberg I’ll add the link to my TQ pouch and you can get one of my hoodies at EmeryReigns.com ! Thank you for taking the time to comment and for your service of 29 years!

You should move your earpiece to the back of your vest so it doesn’t drag on your ear.

[@andressalazar7589]

Hey man just stumbled on your channel and I really enjoy your content, both LEO-related and gaming related. I think that more videos on your experience as a police officer would be great. Though you mentioned this before, but a video on being a police officer as a black man, but overall as a person of color would help a lot of minorities interested in law enforcement. Your thoughts on police culture, maybe eye-opening events you had while working, how it feels to patrol in the neighborhood you grew up in, and any goals you have in Law enforcement (promotions, specialized positions,etc.) Thanks man, keep it up and stay safe.

[@EmeryReigns]

I'll keep this in mind bro, thanks!

[@TracerBullet100]

I work armed security in some sketchy area's what vest do you think i should get? I really like yours i just need something for winter so i can wear warmer clothing and still be able to chase people and even continue the fight on the ground.

[@EmeryReigns]

Mikaleous honestly man you’d have to ask around. The vest I wear is only obtainable if you’re In LE.

[@MrSimon117]

Best thing I've seen and reviewed by people I trust, Safe Life defense. Main points: their 3a soft armor defeats 5.7 and 7.62×25, multi hit capable, they look great.

[@iswear1982]

Safe life defence is a great product.

[@OMACMedicFiveZero]

Vest isnt as improtant as the plates/armor you have. If you’re looking for something for patrol have a look at RMA. They have ceramic lvl 4 plates at very good prices, i have a pair and have knocked them around and they show no signs of wear. AR500 has good stuff but make sure you get the extra coatings or you’ll feel the burn when the round fragments and spalls into your neck and legs.

[@peterpro2a]

I use the contour and I use ar500 it's the way to go for starters but I've been using mine for about 5 yrs and have had no problems with it at all.

[@security29]

So will that setup help me when I become a security guard and what is the best vest I could get .
