Though there were designed primarily for use by Law Enforcement and Military personnel, that doesn’t mean that there aren’t Tactical items that are suitable for the average Joe. Some of the items that may be utilized by your average everyday individual can be found below.

Clothes – some individuals in certain professions can benefit greatly from wearing tactical clothes because of the way they are made. Often these items are waterproof, made with high quality poly cotton rip stop fabric and may feature Teflon coating for resistance to oil dirt etc. If you think tactical as well as clothing looks too military, you are wrong.

These clothes come in everyday colors and designs so you are not condemned to MulitCam material when it comes to tactical clothing.

Footwear – as with clothes individuals in certain professions such as the construction industry can benefit greatly from tactical footwear. These pieces are usually made with lightweight material but made with rugged design and many times include a steel toe for protection. They are polish able and waterproof and sometimes have special coatings for additional functionality.

Bags and Pouches – tactical equipment for carrying stuff are highly durable such as the 5.11 Tactical Carry Sling Pack.

Cops that cover criminal activities as well as riot control may use gear such as Tasers, guns and pepper spray.

When police officers are faced with certain situations they can only depend on their gear. As mentioned above, different situations call for different types of gear. Here is a breakdown of the situations and the type of gear that are most suitable for those.

  1. Riots – there is special equipment that is need for a case of a riot. In such an instant a police will not necessarily need weapons that may be lethal but instead will benefit greatly from things that allow them to defend themselves appropriately. In this scenario the gear police use can range from batons to special guns that utilize plastic or rubber bullets. There are also whips and tear gas, riot helmets, gas masks, neck protectors etc.
  2.  Crime Scene Investigators use drug and finger print testing kits, wear latex gloves and utilize plastic bags of varying sizes for tagging any evidence found on the scene.

Different Types of Law Enforcement Equipment

Law enforcement personnel do not only include police officers but they typically always use the same type of law enforcement equipment. Since their jobs are to protect and serve as their motto states they have to have equipment that helps them to do their job in the most efficient way.  If they do not have the correct tools and equipment then they will be incapable of doing their jobs effectively. Here are just a couple of the different types of equipment they need to perform on the job duties.

  1. A bulletproof vest. This is body armor which protects officers from being fatally shot. The vests are typically made from multiple layers of fibers that are impenetrable to bullets. They do not however protect from the impact and trauma that result after being shot.
  2. A service weapon. Whether it is a handgun, a shot gun or a rifle all law enforcement personnel carry around a service weapon. The type of service weapon an individual carriers around is dependent on the department they work in. there are officers that do not take around guns but instead carry Tasers.
  3. Pepper spray. This is another common type of equipment that police officers used. It is often used as a last resort.
  4. A belt holster. This piece of equipment is usually a part of the uniform. It is useful for carrying not just a gun as most people know it for that. It can also be used to carry a flashlight, a baton or even pepper spray. A good example is the 5.11 Tactical Appendix IWB Holster.
  5. Binoculars. These are very useful and there are now binoculars that have night vision so that they can be used at any time. An officer can use this for viewing a suspect at a distance or for general surveillance purposes or to get the license plate of an individual fleeing the scene by car.
  6. Two Way Radios – these are most times in police cars but can be carried on the person of a police officer as well. These are what allow police officers to know when there is a disturbance or dispute in an area close by so they can do their jobs.

Along with the necessary law enforcement equipment there are also necessary carrying cases and pouches etc. to transport their equipment in a safe, convenient, comfortable and easy to access manner.

Lightweight Tactical Gear

The need and the importance of soldiers having lightweight tactical gear has gotten the attention of manufacturers of these gear. Now there are products that are being developed that are lightweight while still functional and are highly durable. One such manufacturer is 5.11 Tactical offering a line of gear that are made with innovative materials that make items lighter than their predecessors and in many cases even more functional.

 

The need for lighter and still highly effective gear is due to the rise in conditions such as degenerative arthritis and other conditions of the musculoskeletal system that are affecting soldiers in Afghanistan or Iraq. These items are being created so that soldiers can have lighter loads while out in the field. The need was realized in around 2007 and in 2010 there was a report about gear with the purpose of protecting soldiers actually arming them. They also noted that the heavier loads made soldiers a lot less capable of being adequately ready for combat.

 

The load for a soldier in the past could be up to 145 lbs. And that is a lot of stuff to be carrying around on your back even for soldiers who are trained to do so. Overtime all that weight has its effects and they are always negative. As a result everything is being made more lightweight from guns right down to knives as well as items for carrying gear. Boots and clothing also have been made lighter and more comfortable as well to help ease the discomfort accompanied with carrying a heavy load.

 

Soldiers aren’t the only ones that need to have lighter gear and lighter carrying cases for their gear. Members of the police force and other armed taskforces also need lighter items that will make their days a lot less hectic. Cops on patrol can benefit greatly from lightweight items when it is necessary for them to go on a chase. They need lightweight boots and other accessories to help them to be more efficient in accomplishing their tasks.

 

The items that are used to carry gear are equally as important as the tactical gear itself. There is also the creation of gear cases that serve multiple purposes such as the 5.11 Tactical MPC case that can be used as a pistol gun carrying case and a laptop case as well. This case is made from 1050 D nylon and has duraflex hardware which makes the case easier to fit items into. It is lined with BBS or 600 D nylon and has an exterior web platform. It is padded on all sides to provide protection to whatever is being carried inside and has a number of pockets for easy access to your accessories. With an YKK zipper and a Velcro patch you know your items will be secure in this case. It can be used with the backup belt system and can be used horizontally as well as vertically with the RUSH 24 Pack. You can also attach this to the Wingman Patrol Bag if an officer requires extra storage.
