What are police supply items?
Police supply items are what assist police to do their job. That sounds plain and simple but it is anything but! Clipboards to Lasers are Police supply items, so as you can see the range from one end of the spectrum to the other is vast.
Police officers do a dangerous job. No one would question that in any way. They do a job most of us wouldn’t consider at any price. The first recognized police force was set up in London England in 1829. It was introduced to help prevent crime and act as a deterrent, in much the same way police today still operate the world over. Police supply items back in 1829 would have been basic and few in numbers. Today the range of Police supply items is huge, and it is all designed and manufactured with safety, comfort and longevity in mind.
The very sight of a police officer back in London 1829 would have been enough of a deterrent to put off would be criminals. No one had seen such a presence on the streets back then and it would have been very effective. In today’s world, the sight of police on the street is something we expect. We would fear something wrong if we didn’t see police daily. Police supply items are anything an officer would need to carry out their range of duties. Low tech through to high tech and everything in between can be classed as police supply items.
Socks, boots, vests, duty belts, batons, radios and handcuffs are all items of Police supply. An officer needs to have every thing with them whilst on their shift and the average officer carries round 9kg (20lbs) of kit around with them. Many officers will carry a greater weight of Police supply items with them depending on their area of duty. Most of the kit an officer needs has been specifically designed and manufactured with very specific purposes in mind. The obvious use of a boot is for feet, but even a boot has many features that make them hardwearing and extremely comfortable.
The humble sock has been redesigned with officers in mind, long hours on their feet in extreme heat and cold means ordinary socks are rendered useless. Socks that have additional cushioning and a moisture wick lining are popular as they give all day comfort. T-shirts and shorts containing unique trademarked cooling properties are also the kind of Police supply that officers find invaluable. Comfort is key to a patrol officer and anything they can do to improve their comfort for the length of their shift is paramount.
Its’ probably easier to list the kind of things an officer wouldn’t need rather than what they would need. Day to day items would be their duty belt, which will have attached a baton and possibly a flashlight. An officer would also need his firearm and some form of restraint such as handcuffs. In some states, they are looking at tasers becoming standard issue to offer police officers additional protection. So these are now showing up as Police supply equipment and are more easily obtained.
