Less is more. When you're a rookie you will carry everything. Over time youll know what youll need

[@SoileaterYT]

Totally agree.

[@1177Pointman]

Less is always more but core staples : forms, pens, cards, a bottle of water & snacks (never know when you’ll be stuck on something for an extended period). Also a small bottle of bug spray and sunscreen

[@SoileaterYT]

My lunch box used to be stacked! Also, I should always drink more water, but working afternoons you always gotta find a spot to pee lol. Great call on bug spray for the overnight guys. I used to carry that and Benadryl spray for bug bites when working nights. Forgot to mention.

[@c.jasonharper9177]

I'm in my 2nd decade of policing. My bag is simple. It's an LLBean canvas messenger bag I got as a college graduation gift. It carries just enough of my admin patrol stuff. I had the big 5.11 style for years, though. As you said, experience teaches you what's needed and what's not.

[@SoileaterYT]

Totally. And now with everything going digital it makes it a lot less.

[@Nothing_141]

Great video also Dans looking like Irish Police with that hair and sideburns lol

[@SoileaterYT]

My hair is getting out of control. It’s about time for a cut 😂🤣

[@benjaminclark2659]

Best video yet. Keep it up. Cool to see we all carry the same stuff for the same reasons.

[@SoileaterYT]

Yeah, mine is pretty slimmer down, but it’s the essentials. I forgot to mention a roll of extra paper for printer.

[@timmccall4566]

Extra batteries, pens, hand sanitizer, gloves and a good headlamp helps when searching vehicles. Will be adding baby wipes!

[@SoileaterYT]

They are so refreshing on hot days.

[@Jacob-oq3uv]

I never got patrol bags until I learned some people share vehicles? Every department near me has take home vehicles. I keep folding crates in case I need to empty it and that’s it

[@SoileaterYT]

Yeah pool vehicles where I am at unfortunately. Take homes would be better on so many levels.

[@Jacob-oq3uv]

@@SoileaterYT FDLE (Florida Department of law enforcement) did a study showing that take home cars were actually cost effective and led to the vehicle being maintained better. Along with the added presence when driving to/from work and just parked in neighborhoods. They also are a great Officer benefit. Most officers I know would leave if they didn’t get a take home, they’d be willing to take a pay cut for a takehome. It saves us so much money on gas, tolls, maintenance etc as an officer vs us paying for it all on our POV’s

[@SoileaterYT]

@@Jacob-oq3uv say it louder so my admin can hear it! Haha. We have been trying for years. And will continue to try 😂🤣

[@dissonantelysium]

I also got a Flipper for RFID-tags. I keep tags to public housings, gates and what not on it. Absolutely amazing piece of kit besides just being fun if you're into security stuff.

[@SoileaterYT]

I really enjoy mine. But I’m still very novice with it.

[@paulmorang8340]

I get “less is more”, but these aren’t bags we’re carrying around. It’s sitting in a car. My bag… Mission -Spare ID -Clipboard, documents, pens, extra notebooks -2nd pair of cuffs -2nd cuff key CBRN -Binoculars -Mini HAZMAT emergency response guidebook (maybe not necessary for most, but my department has firefighting responsibilities) Nav & Comms -Garmin GPS watch with maps -Map of the city (good for field training) -Spare radio battery -Whistle, chem lights Medical -Gloves -Fanny pack IFAK -P100 mask (probably not necessary for most, my department are all medics) Shelter -Rain coat -Jacket, hat, gloves -Hand warmers Water -Full bottle, Mio with caffeine Food -Peanuts, almonds Tools -Leatherman with bit kit -Duct tape -Adjustable wrench -Dog leash -Lock picks Power -Batteries -Cables

[@SoileaterYT]

Solid list. 💯

[@unclefreedom213]

5.11 Wingman is the bag. Thats what i run on shift absolutley the best patrol bag oit there

[@SoileaterYT]

Good bag.

[@Unit13FREMSLT]

[@SoileaterYT]

Our pleasure!,

[@security29]

Respect brother, got my new tactical chest rig today, put a stab resistant plate in my

[@SoileaterYT]

Stab huh? Hmm

[@security29]

[@SoileaterYT]

Haha agreed

[@user-ol9jj7vj7q]

Solid cop

[@SoileaterYT]

We out here

[@Outcome_Agent]

I just want that shirt. In that color in XL

[@SoileaterYT]

The skull T-Shirt has the same front logo, there should be XL in stock on the website.

[@lexmedic157]

That's what she said...

[@SoileaterYT]

A few of them in this vid. Tried to keep it in track.

[@anthonybeffa2071]

What kind of bag did you use when you still rode your horse with the Mounties? 🇨🇦🤓

[@SoileaterYT]

Haha, saddle up

[@jgilbertg5719]

Do you have to switch rides or do you have a assigned car?

[@SoileaterYT]

I’m no longer on patrol, but when I was it’s a poop vehicle so you switch daily, always a different vehicle basically.

[@matthewb22]

What’s the Fanny pack?

[@SoileaterYT]

It’s one I made. But spiritus systems makes some nice ones.
