Do you have the right equipment?

Those of us in the Law Enforcement/Corrections community face a multitude of challenges every single day. Some we can control, others we don't. One thing that we can control is the equipment/gear that we utilize every day. Depending on the job at hand, do we have the right equipment/gear to do our job proficiently and efficiently??

What do you think that you need? Well, if you work on your feet all day you may want a good pair of boots that are comfortable. If you work nights or in low light areas, a flashlight is a must! How about gloves? Don't we go searching around in places that most people would not want to put their hands in, or on? After a while we know that we need to replace them since we use them that often. However, I am never surprised at the amount of officers that either seldom replace their gear, or just don't want to buy it in the first place.

Our safety must be first and foremost. If we don't take that into consideration, how can we protect the public and fulfill our primary mission??

Don't wait until it is too late to do what you know is right...
