Never wear slip-on loafers for EP... Always a lace-up shoes. Nexbelt are excellent for EP loadout and are extremely durable. N*EAR makes one of the best minimalist earpieces on the market, super-lite and low-profile.

This videos is underrated. There was a lot of important information in this video that new EPs could benefit from. Thank you!

Thanks for sharing this, I'm a newbie to the industry and its nice to have this information

Really great video!! Great setup and information as to why. 💪🏿💯💪🏿 Thankyou!

This is actually a really good video. Thanks for putting out this info. It's definitely a great base for an EPA agent. The only exception that I would take is with that Perry Ellis belt. I never have good luck with that buckle. Every time I load out stuff on it and tighten it up it seems to tear. I go with a uniform dress belt. It's sturdier and they could pass as a regular dress belt. Otherwise great video.

You are dead on about the glasses Sir.

Great video very informative and thanks for sharing!

For dress belts I highly recommend Nexbelt, they have track belts that work amazing to support gear.

I understand you don't do this very often but kore essentials has a leather gun belt really nice Belts they have

Your Flash light is huge!

I know this is an old video, but here are my two cents after 22 years in the business. Shoes can be purchased with rubber soles. I'm a very big fan of the shoe brand Allen Edmunds, Oxford with Dainite Rubber Soles. you will spend a bit more on them, but I have shoes that are 10-15 years old.

Thank you.

go to a hearing aid place and get a custom molded earpiece for that coil so that you can also hear your surroundings and radio.

Would love to see a try on where things are and what it looks like

I agree about swapable mags, but nobody carries .40. You are better suited to glock 19 on your hip and a 26 on your cankle. Both have swapable mags and any cop will have extra 9mm glock mags. Oh, and never trust your life to kel-tec jam-o-matic. If you need a small sub rock a roni or a glockmag 9mm pistol calibur carbine. Then you have 33 round mags for your pistol.

In ear "FBI style" curly sets are pretty bad for reducing situational awareness (they block up one ear). The molded style ones are far better if you want to attempt low profile on a budget. I've always hated the silly 2 wire sets - No one walks around talking into their sleeves unless using one of these sets, so you might as well wear a hi-viz vest with "Look At Me" written all over it. Get a 3 wire version with separate earpiece, PTT and microphone. The mic goes just inside your lapel and the PTT can be fed through a small hole in your jacket / trouser pocket. This way, you can press the PTT in a less attention grabbing way whilst speaking somewhat normally. Hold up a phone to your head and no one will be any the wiser, or, have a local shop CNC machine a phone sized piece of plastic to use as a totally disposable "phone" to hold up whilst talking on the radio - If things get exciting, you can simply drop it on the floor without having to fumble putting a $1000 I-phone away. Your local radio dealer (if they're serious) can wire a socket into the setup to accept a second PTT. They could also supply a large "slap pad" PTT to insert into your breast pocket. In a hands-on situation, you won't have to put your hands into your pockets to activate the PTT, rather you'd simply press your chest. If a headset has that silly two-pin "Kenwood" plug, it is designed for a toy radio with low capability. Look at the new R7 series from Motorola or the new H series from Hytera - These have VERY advanced audio leveling and noise cancelling features that will help get the message through first time. In radios such as this, advanced encryption is a simple tick box.

Awesome

I prefer lightweight black leather / cordura approach shoes even with a suit, Eyewear is always prescription shatterproof lens shades.. great video.

Comms suggestion: look at ear hero. In-ear speakers abt size of a grain of rice. Able to maintain full SA and no coiled tube above the collar.

Garrison type belt! Perry Elis belt can come undone!

Those loafers though 😁

In colder situations, I would consider ditching one or two pistols for a concealable IIIA vest. You could get one for under $300 and it weighs like 2lbs.

As for a watch would a Iwatch be ok?

Loved the video! What brand is the knife that you had in this video?

How much money would a detail like this cost?

hey man nice video what state you do EP because here in my state in connecticut theres no EP work

Thank you for sharing! Do you carry any medical gear too?

how do you have the suit to be tailored around you what do you do with the jacket and paints anybody had to do th is . please let me know thx

What kind of holster are you using for the pulse taser at around the 14:10 mark?? Appreciate the video. Good stuff.

Where did you get your holster at for your Glock 22?

No bullet resistant vest? No handcuffs? No tourniquet? Throw all that other stuff away. You need a vest to shield your principal, a firearm, comms, cuffs, and comfortable shoes. You should also have a tourniquet/med kit on you, or within the immediate vicinity, like in the car.

What radio rid do you operate?

Good morning, I have been doing Private security for about 10 years now and would like to get further into the EP side of things. Any advice on where to start?

Where do you put Your radio and cell phone?

Out of interest, could someone explain to me why 0.40cal is so popular? I prefer a 9mm SIG Sauer P229 for personal security. But I have seen many people opt for 0.40cal.

Hello, I am a private investigator. I want to switch to protection agent. How can I start? Thanks.

How's that muscle memory between a gun with a dumdass dot & no dot?

I'm secret squirrel! I have a very important principle, me. I'm on a dangerous mission. I'm going to the store. I'm blending in wearing street clothes. My load out is my normal CCW gear. I hope I make it home safe!

Can you help me get in this company as a worker, out in the field

I see you went to pwa

Personally not a leather guy it is to rigid and heavy, Kydex or ballistic nylon pouches work for me, I would lose one gun and add two more mags, also I would add a tourniquet like a Ratt and a couple of bags of peanuts or some beef jerky because in close protection you will be hungry a lot with no time to eat Also the shoes slip on's are a no go if they get wet they will fail you

You feel the need to carry 3 guns, but no body armor???

How do you find someone to do this for

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Suggestion of gear recommended by secret service would be suspenders to hold up your pants because your gear gets heavy.

No compact fixed blade knife

Mike sits on the inside of your jacket

No slip on shoes! Never!

So what kind of juw are you

No excess magazine in the weapon! Must be sleek and fast!

Your showing off with your watch

😎🇵🇹

So he someone that would work for like the president

Dear sir.Do you provide any online training or certificate??

Your monocular is huge! Need compact one!

Hihihihi

If u want to look nice go for it, but this isnt functional

What yourTrying to say is that your defensive with offensive capabilities

Everybody knows when your talking into your sleeve!

Sunglasses are too protect you from the sun and some debris

Dude those shoes look atrocious! Get some black oxfords!

You know nothing about EP Perry Ellis belt? That will last about a month and will break at the worst possible time Slip on shoes? Why would you cut the soles? Bostonian shoe company every year has an employee run the Boston marathon in their shoes. So maybe try them Two guns? That’s a lot of weight. Your job is to get your principal out of there not to stay and fight . An asp, spare mags, flashlight, a large knife to “cut a thread”, a monocular in your pocket How do you get in and out of the car? Your cell phone has a clock on it, but sure add a watch for extra weight. Notice he didn’t put this stuff on, because he would look like a tool who could barely move.

Forgot body armor and ifak.

Switch to 9mm Glocks! 40 s&w is obsolete.

This is not the way

This was difficult to sit through😂

You guys actually talk into your sleeve. I thought that was just a Hollywood thing. Aside from wearing a flashing neon sign that says "secret agent man", I can't imagine a more comically obvious way to draw attention to yourself than the sleeve mic. At least use a handkerchief and pretend to blow your nose while you do it.

I honestly can’t watch anymore! Carbines -really? Taser really?

Two MAJOR NO NO’s to your setup: NO to the shoes…. CIA teaches laced shoes even dress shoes in the event you have to run. Slip on shoes can and will fall off. NO to your belt… Midway USA carries many concealed carry THICK leather belts that come in both casual and dress styles. That belt is FAR TOO THIN especially with all your heavy gear.

Acronyms for the novice is poor instruction

Load out lol. You american make me laugh how you try and make everything tactical and like you're constantly going to war. Come over to the UK and try doing it without weapons!

Yeah those shoes gotta go my boi, you pull up and pick up a client in those they’ll fire you on the spot

When does the video start 7 minutes in and he still talking about nothing. Boring

Such a "haven't actually worked EP in a long time" video...shoes and belt are cringe. 40 w/ laser...of course. #trustywatch

List: Ugly black shoes. Check.

.40 cal?! Ewww...

Those shoes need to thrown in the garbage sir. 🫵🏼👉🏻
