Duty Gear for Correctional Officers

Boy have I been busy!! This is always a good thing, but then again, it depends on what you have been busy with. It has been great!!

Over the last few weeks I have been thinking as to why I started Dydrostorm and what the mission statement is. The Mission Statement is easy: To provide quality gear at an affordable price for those that protect and serve our community.

Now, having worked in the Law Enforcement/Corrections field since 1994 I'm very aware that we will never get rich in this line of work. We don't do the job we do for the money. We do it for the satisfaction of a job well done at the end of the day. When it comes down to disposable income, we say "huh?" We really don't know what it is. For most of us, whatever duty gear that we have has either been provided to us by our agency (if you're lucky) or we have had to buy it ourselves. This usually means that we look around, check out the prices, save for it, and then when we go to buy it we hope that they didn't raise the price.

I brainstormed for a few days and asked myself one question: What does a Correctional Officer need, as a bare minimum, for duty gear to work inside a prison? Four things came to mind:

1. Kevlar Tactical Gloves
2. Handcuff Case
3. O.C. Case (Large or Small case)
4. Latex Glove Pouch

And so was born the Corrections Bare Necessities Package ($44.99 plus $10 shipping MSRP - $62.46). This is the bare minimum someone would need.

There are other items Correctional Officers need: Duty belt, belt keepers, key holder, flashlight, flashlight holder and a radio pouch/case but depending on personal preference, some people don't use them or want them.

A total of 5 packages were created: Corrections Bare Necessities Package, Corrections / Security Basic Duty Gear Package, Corrections / Security Premium Duty Gear, Corrections / Security Deluxe Duty Gear and Corrections / Security Ultra Deluxe Duty Gear.


The Corrections / Security Basic Duty Gear Package ($74.99 plus $10 shipping MSRP - $100.43) includes:
1. Kevlar Tactical Gloves
2. O.C. Case (Large or Small case)
3. Handcuff Case
4. Latex Glove Pouch
5. Duty Belt
6. Belt Keepers
7. Silent Key Holder

The Corrections / Security Premium Duty Gear Package ($99.99 plus free shipping MSRP - $134.91) includes:
1. Kevlar Tactical Gloves
2. O.C. Case (Large or Small case)
3. Handcuff Case
4. Latex Glove Pouch
5. Duty Belt
6. Belt Keepers

8. 12-Bulb LED Flashlight
9. Flashlight Holder

I have seen a similar package for $98.95 but it did not include the flashlight or Kevlar tactical gloves.
