Back when I was in investigations, my load was a 226 .40, 2 spare mags, cuffs, knife in pocket. Leaving the station meant adding OC in the jacket pocket, and of course the radio. Soft armor in an outer carrier was in the trunk, along a bunch of other SHTF gear. No impact weapon.....though policy dictates we carry an approved impact weapon on duty, even in Plainclothes. Only reasonable option for Plainclothes was a yawara....but the hadn't given the class in years (and you couldn't carry it without the class). Hadn't approved the RCB yet, and the ASP was (and still is) restricted to SWAT and K9.......because , ya know, ASP MANDATES that anyone carrying their baton be Re-certified by an ASP instructor every six months in a full day course and, well.....we just can't do that. Even after I put the Lt. and Sgt. at the Academy on speaker phone with the Vice President of LE Training Services for ASP, who told them that was ridiculous and false, and how could they mandate anything to their customers.....soon as we hung up....Lt. looked at me and said, "I still just don't see how we could put everyone through that training every six months..."
