8 questions to ask before your next holster purchase

By Dave Young, PoliceOne Columnist

What duties will I be performing while wearing the holster? Outlining the duties performed while wearing the holster is important because it can help determine which type of holster is needed.

Factor in climate where duties will be performed ... Full Article

Product Notes

G-Trac GPS Tracker from Brickhouse Security
It takes time, money, and manpower to ensure that your mobile workers (including police, security guards, or anyone else who is on the move) are doing their jobs effectively. To ensure that workers are doing their job rather than sleeping or talking on the phone, a supervisor must drive to the work site, check on the employee, and write a report. So far, you’ve paid for the employee, the supervisor, gas, insurance, and time. This inactivity costs you $3,000 per employee and cuts right into the profitability of each account. With The G-Trac, managers can track, monitor, and manage their personnel remotely from a computer in real-time, at all times. Learn More...
