what supplies would u need to become a cop?

Answer 1

After you go through the academy first and get certified on firearms, taser, OC pepper spray, expandable baton and handcuff techniques THEN you can carry them. Usually the department you hire on with will supply all the equipment you will need except for a back-up firearm.

Answer 2

After you are hired by a department and graduate the police academy the department normally supplies you everything you will need.

Of course not all do, some departments require you supply certain supplies.

In general as a officer, I carried a officers bag to hold my supplies, (that I bought) I always carried 2 or 3 extra handcuffs, and I bought a very nice hand cuff key instead of the small standard type.

I also bought a better grade protective vest than the one furnished and also bought a much better flashlight.

And I had to buy a back up gun if I wanted to carry one

Answer 3

Everything MITRE#136 said, that is everything you will need. You may want to upgrade your handheld walkie because it's bulky, and get an earpiece so guys who have been arrested several times, and know the codes, dont overhear whats coming back on them. That runs about 70.00 dollars.
As far as an asp, Get the new 26" winchester collapseable baton, they are very very nice. I have one :) . Those are about $100.00 dollars. But you should always have a standard wood baton, which I also have. Diamondwood, or Bloodwood are good. Diamondwood should cost about $50.00 dollars. They are guaranteed not to break.
Boots is all preference, I have original swat, they are comfy. Those are about $100.00 dollars.

The reasoning for a collapseable is because they dont get in the way if you have to run after a suspect. The reason you will always want a wood if you know your gonna be using it, is becasue you can do a jab with a wood, a collapseable will collapse.

Answer 4

1 Sam Brown Belt
1 Pepper Spray Holder (if you're certified)
1 Expandable Baton Holder (if you're certified)
1 Radio Holder (removable swivel is more convenient)
1 Pager or Cell Phone Holder
2 Hand Cuff Cases (one with flap, one without, better if you wear the one without on left rear, more comfy when you drive) or both open or both with flap
1 Level III Gun Holster (level 3 for better gun retention)
1 set of at least four keepers (to secure your police belt to your trouser belt)
1 expandable baton ASP is good
1 MK3 OC Spray

There's more, but that's the basic stuff, I recommend Bianchi, you'll probably need all your stuff in Basketweave finish, standard for police, not trying to sell you on anything, here's one of many websites that sell police equipment....... www.copsplus.com www.policesupplyexpress.com www.streichers.com

Answer 5

Supplies? If you graduate from the police academy, and get a job as a genuine law enforcement officer, they supply you with everything you'd need.

Answer 6
