So what exactly is tactical equipment?
Tactical equipment is used by police officers, firefighters, armed forces and multiple other agencies. Tactical equipment is normally used where the personnel are going into dangerous and unpredictable situations. Sometimes these situations are life threatening and any personnel needs the protection and security Tactical equipment can give them.
Tactical equipment ranges from the very basic to the very complex. There is full body armor and weaponry to a simple pair of boots and undergarments. Whilst the undergarments and boots won’t have any life saving qualities, they can make the difference between comfort and ability to perform and discomfort and distraction. Typically, Tactical equipment is said to be anything necessary to protect, and defend the personnel in order for them to achieve their mission critical goals. Therefore, even something as ordinary as a flashlight could be deemed to be Tactical equipment.
As you would imagine the range of Tactical equipment available is huge, and it needs to be given the vast range of situations military, firefighters and police find themselves in day-to-day. The batons, firearms and restraints a police officer carries could be classed as Tactical equipment as without those they would not be able to carry out their full range of duties. It’s a sobering thought that Tactical equipment is needed on a daily basis by most of those sworn to protect and serve. Often there are situations that require more advanced Tactical equipment such as public disorder or crowd control situations.
In most personnel’s day-to-day work they would not require something like full body armor. However the range of Tactical equipment they do need is vast. Utility knives, utility belts and even a badge holder can all be considered as Tactical equipment and what each person needs will be dependent on who they work for and in what capacity. One thing that anyone would agree on is that any Tactical equipment must be of high quality. Some of the dangerous and life threatening situations military, police and the fire service find them selves in means they need to be able to rely on any equipment they have from a flashlight to Kevlar vest.
There are several manufacturers of Tactical equipment and names such as 5.11 Tactical, Uncle Mike’s Law Enforcement, Original S.W.A.T, Tru-Spec and Hatch is synonymous with high quality and durability. All of these manufacturers supply the right Tactical equipment for whatever your job is. There is absolutely no point in supplying people with sub standard Tactical equipment. After all we are talking life saving equipment here. Always source your Tactical equipment from reputable retailers who have a history of supplying the military, law enforcement and other agencies.
Some retailer’s work closely with the manufacturers, and this is perfect for two reasons. They can give feedback on exactly what Tactical equipment is needed by any agency. The second reason is they can supply specification details on what works well and not so well in any type of equipment. Gamers such as those who partake in paint balling and similiar activities can also use Tactical equipment. Although the price of high quality Tactical equipment is probably a little put off in such gaming situations. Tactical equipment is what keeps our military, police, firefighters and other agencies safe, they need the peace of mind to be able to get on with the dangerous job they do.
