As patrol responds to more and more calls formerly reserved for SWAT teams, tools that equip them to handle violent incidents are increasingly important. Law enforcement in the United States encompasses multiple organizations and agencies, each covering specific jurisdictions and offenses. Depending on the duties assigned to each officer or agent and the location he or she operates within, the level of risk varies. However, personnel across all sectors need to wear body armor. So, what are some of the most important pieces of tactical shooter’s gear to ensure law enforcement and the community are safe?
- Carry Sling Pack
- It offers both the benefits of a sling and a pack which discretely hides a machine gun or pistol. The detachable pistol pouch on the chest doubles as a fanny pack and contains an electronics holder, accessory pouch and a knife holder.
- Use the hot pull tab for instant front pouch access. The padded main compartment safeguards the weapon and hot pull tabs for rapid gun deployment
- Patrolbat
- This offers a solo police officer extensive ballistic coverage. It defeats multiple impacts from most handgun, shotgun, and pistol caliber sub-machinegun threats, and because it's compact and foldable it can be easily carried in a patrol car in the trunk or passenger seat until it's needed.
- The shield allows the primary user to have both hands on their weapons to easily transition between long guns and handguns.
Although Crosstac focuses on shooting as a hobby we want to make sure we don’t forget about our heroes in uniform and remember the dangers they face every day. Without the proper tactical shooter’s gear they risk their lives even more.
