I have the same value. only use state issue items. keep the duty belt light weight. only thing that is mine is handcuff key pen and radio holster. beside that I only carry the state issue radio and state issue oc spray with state issue oc spray holster. gloves I keep in my backpack and a few extra gloves on my pockets or pants pocket. meanwhile other c/os carry heavy beats but. remember folks lightweight is key. your body will remember that in 15 years. also a led flash light not to be nor not to small.
speak it brother....I went from Co to Deputy....back to Co...full time deputys swear by the basket weave...leather..... us old school...know nylon.... have to be able to move... I carry mag pouches empty...never know when called back... two hand cuff pouches... one each side of glove pouch...and my holster.... got mace on right side of hip...if I am in so much trouble I need maceI shoudnt have been there...have batton... not used since training so no use... just learn your inmates...speak talk... will pick out whats not normal... way before more violence happens.
Great advice, I’ve been on the floor at my county jail for 2 months now, we just got issued vests. All I have on my belt is oc spray and glove pouch. Thanks for the video
I been in corrections for over 4 years, unfortunately our state requires us to carry all equipment issued to us on your belt, that includes PPD, CPR mask pouch, taser cuffs and OC pouch along with keys, belt definitely gets heavy. That said, I carry everything towards the front and leave my back open
Most Officers clip them on belt with keepers yes. The isolation unit I worked I slid the biggest key between the belt and my stomach area as I used keys every single minute.
Some do that yes, just want policy to clearly state guidelines for approved bests you can bring and wear, to cover you in case of a critical incident where it may save your life. Also if there is an injury to the officer wearing his own vest, will policy state the officer is supported by the agency so that workers comp claims can be submitted and the officer paid. It’s all to easy for agency to say you can bring your own vest, then hang you out to dry if your vest protects you or fails, and there is any medical evaluation required and bills to cover.
Thank you all for the great feedback on setting up your duty belt, and the variety of requirements and needs we all have. This is how we learn and improve, networking!
I don't want to sound disrespectful, I respect you and your career. I haven't worked nearly as long or in corrections or lawenforcment. But I have worked in Security and Parking Enforcement. Can you give me one example of somone being choked with there shoulder mike? I've never heard of that happing and know plenty of cops and correctional officers and security who wear a shoulder mike. I chose to wear mine in the middle of my self, usually on the buttons of a collard shirt so I can reach it with both hands. Plus I can reach it and talk through it while having my other hand free. Also it's not about looking cool, it's about being able to hear and being able to press the button and talk quickly.
@@sgt.beastlarson interesting, I stand corrected, my apologies. I was told that they never happen, and I never heard of them so assumed my source was accurate.
No, some only rifles in the tower where inmates can’t get to them. OC spray, usually just Supervisors and Special Operations team members carry tasers. It’s a hand on self defense for officers

Only thing I was issued is a pair of cuffs, shirt, and pants
Great video, can you do or what do you recommend as a set up for an outer vest?
Very valuable information, especially about bringing your own mace and cuffs
Awesome video
Great explanation and reasoning for people to understand!! Be safe Beast
Thanks, you too!
Great advice, I’ve been on the floor at my county jail for 2 months now, we just got issued vests. All I have on my belt is oc spray and glove pouch. Thanks for the video
Great video explanation
Glad you liked it!
Great training video
Thank you
great information
Thank you
Thank you
Great info thanks
Thanks for the video. Makes perfect sense
great video, i like the setup you use
A good video as always.
Thank you
Nailed it again brother, thanks Beast
Perfect, I needed this information
Great explanation of duty belt set up. Yes he did stare down the train lol
I did!!!
thanks for this explanation
Your safety and department regulations put together
Great advise Beast
Safety and your health
You really only need four belt Keepers and it doesn't look like that Bell is being used for police work you need more than that
Any recommendations for the radio if a shoulder mike is less than ideal? Housing units are pretty loud at my prison.
I don’t like should mikes as they are a choking hazard, it’s a trial and error to find the right spot and be able to hear it
@@sgt.beastlarson Got it. Thank you, sir. Stay safe!

Better to be over prepared. Believe me.
great plan for setting up a belt6
So how would things go if your department doesn’t have issues cuffs or spray? The only thing that is issued is shirts, pants and taser.
If they don’t issue it, try and get a copy of a memo requiring you to purchase your own. Something in writing to protect you.
great video explanation
Glad you liked it!
So true, for Police we keep our duty belts exactly the same from Officer to Officer
excellent advice
Glad you think so!
One question keys are you keeping it on your belt keepers or in pocket?
Most Officers clip them on belt with keepers yes. The isolation unit I worked I slid the biggest key between the belt and my stomach area as I used keys every single minute.
what about agencies that allow officers bring their own vests?
Some do that yes, just want policy to clearly state guidelines for approved bests you can bring and wear, to cover you in case of a critical incident where it may save your life. Also if there is an injury to the officer wearing his own vest, will policy state the officer is supported by the agency so that workers comp claims can be submitted and the officer paid.

thank you for making this video
I was trained to use the radio 📻 😂🤣

Can you give me one example of somone being choked with there shoulder mike? I've never heard of that happing and know plenty of cops and correctional officers and security who wear a shoulder mike.
I chose to wear mine in the middle of my self, usually on the buttons of a collard shirt so I can reach it with both hands. Plus I can reach it and talk through it while having my other hand free.
Also it's not about looking cool, it's about being able to hear and being able to press the button and talk quickly.
Hearing is important, we had several choked when they started shoulder mikes in the early 90s, they don’t make the news however
@@sgt.beastlarson interesting, I stand corrected, my apologies.
I was told that they never happen, and I never heard of them so assumed my source was accurate.
Great job
My county does not issue cuffs or tasers or anything aside from uniform. We are required to purchase our own equipment which is reimbursed. So ……..
Do Correctional Officers carry pistols in the prison?
No, some only rifles in the tower where inmates can’t get to them. OC spray, usually just Supervisors and Special Operations team members carry tasers. It’s a hand on self defense for officers
Love this video
I like this video explanation
Thank you
awesome thank you for this video
Glad you liked it!
my department doesn't supply cuffs or spray but there is specific brands that i am allowed to carry. there's no belt policy though.
Just don’t cheat yourself by skipping equipment for convenience
The only thing that’s my own is my flashlight, just in case I have to do cell searches
Flashlight is a minimum
