That’s awesome to hear!! Thanks for letting me know. It’s encouraging

Ha! No that’s a new one. I get Orlando bloom and Joseph Gordon levitt a lot

Man I love this job. No need to thank me, but thank you for the support.

Microtech Ultratech i haw him but im in EU so it colect dust 😂and it cost 400€ . Totaly stupid to buy, also I don't beliwe in that spring. And all scrues are made in house so I can't ewen disesembled him . First and last . But I cary my 940 Banchmade:))

@k9teamzagrebskolazapse149 that’s an expensive ultratech! They’re around $280 here for a basic one. This one was significantly less because they do a deal for law enforcement. I’m sorry you can’t carry yours. If you could, I think you’d be much more confident in it. I have three microtechs and they all have worked well. I also have disassembled all of them using a tool from Amazon.

Thanks! It needs a follow up now. Things have changed a bit

Thank you so much! If there’s anything I can do to help in your LE aspirations please let me know.

Excellent! Thanks for watching

Awesome! I’ll get that done

Hahaha yea it was fun doing that but I’d have been slightly put off had it been me. We can certainly try to keep making that kind of content. The bad thing is that it really doesn’t change much. I started carrying a leatherman skeletool since we did the off duty carry but that’s about the only thing that’s different. If you have any suggestions for me I’m always open.

I’ve never really understood the point of hinged. Maybe you can show me the light

@@justapatrolman4246 For people that are more difficult. It gives them a little less wiggle room to try anything. I also think chained are easier to slip under your feet to get the cuffs in front of you.

Gotcha maybe I’ll give them a try

I’ll keep that in mind! Had that issue with the AK mags a while back (feed lips).

Thanks for the complement! It’s a Motorola XTS2500

Been there done that brother! I don’t miss having just the belt lol. I hope y’all move forward with it. God bless

I love that you’re watching from Croatia!

Haha thanks! And absolutely welcome

I believe it was in 4k. I have it set up to where I can change it within the camera app. Thanks:). Maybe I’m better at this than I thought😂

Thank you! I really need to do an update to this video. We were in the process of implementing body cams at the time we made the video. I had not gotten one yet. They are fully integrated into our equipment now though

Oh yes I’ve seen those before but I’ve never seen one in person. Interesting, thank you

I carried a blackjack for years, very effective in a fight but they were outlawed in the last 10 years of my 30 year career (retired in ‘97). When I began my career all we carried was a revolver, 12 extra rounds, cuffs & a baton. No portable radio until much later. Cops today carry a LOT of gear with them.

Yea I gain at least 30 pounds when I get dressed for work. Part of me envys you. Love your name by the way

I’ve seen those and thought about getting one. They’re sort of expensive tho. One thing I forgot to mention in the video was my shoulder mounted white/red light for the very purpose you’re describing. Definitely a good thought

Second time I’ve seen this request since the last time I did one. I’ll do an updated one, although I DEFINITELY liked my Tahoe better

Yes sir!

Haha! Had to

That was my idea. I talked his wife into it just before we did the video. He had no idea. There will be a part three because a ton has changed since this was made😁

If I could carry a staccato I would!! They won’t let us carry a single action only gun (guess they don’t consider that a Glock is basically single action with one less safety than the 1911 platform). And we’re working on red dots. They just started issuing duty weapons a couple years ago and didn’t get the MOS version. A few of us are pushing to have our fleet of G17s milled. Thanks for the input!

@@justapatrolman4246 Bummer, yeah I’ve been running a staccato on duty for almost 3 years now. Like 20 percent of us run red dots and we’re pushing for G17 department wide with red dots to the masses. It will greatly benefit for sure! Try and push those 2011’s bro 😂

Oh I’ve been trying but it’ll never happen unless a new chief comes in and likes them. But the red dots will probably happen in the next couple years

Thanks a ton! And I completely agree. Humor is just below Godliness. Things have changed since I made this video as far as my vest goes. I don’t really have room for it. I would also have to buy the Molle compatible mount myself

@@justapatrolman4246 I bought a single molle strip from eBay. The big azz one is stupid takes up too much real estate.

Would you mind sending me a link to a similar one so I know what to look for?

@@justapatrolman4246 heck yes. Give me a second. I’ll find it. The department gave me a Blackhawk one that took up way too much. So I got a single and throes it on.

I absolutely do not worry about that. Reason being, none of the things on my vest are hard enough to deflect a bullet. Even the handcuffs won’t do much. The bullet will go through them like butter. And even if one did ricochet off of something, it would be spall that got me. Again, I don’t think the odds of that are even measurable. For me, the benefits of the load being on my upper body outweighs the minuscule risk. If you think about it, military guys carry much more stuff on their torsos than I do. How many stories have you heard where a round bounced off a magazine or something and tagged the guy or one of his buddies? And they tend to get shot at more than me (theoretically😂). Good question! I had not actually thought about that, so thanks for the inquiry. That’s one way we learn. I’m asking for questions on my discord. Would you mind if I used this one in a Q&A video? And if that’s ok, do you want me to give you a shoutout?

@Justa Patrolman Sure, feel free to use it. A shoutout woukd be awesome. I didn't think about the military, but you're right.

Will do our best!

Perhaps. I just have trouble thinking of a situation where I’d need a backup. I can think of lots of reasons to need a knife

@@justapatrolman4246 On my department (10,000 sworn), we’ve had dozens of incidents where the back up gun saved the cop’s life. (Yes, I said “dozens”). Some circumstances you will need one, here’s some examples: -Gun take-aways; -fighting to maintain possession of your primary weapon while wrestling that bad guy on the ground; -huge major malfunction with your primary in the middle of a gunfight and where a simple tap n rack isn’t going to cut it (a knife won’t do crap for you in a gun fight). -the loss of your primary during perhaps a fight.; -your primary “gun hand” is suddenly incapacitated (like shot) and you can’t use it to go for your holstered gun. Therefore with your non gun hand, you retrieve a back-up weapon to defend your life. With my agency a back-up is preached like the use of a vest is. Nobody goes 10-8 without one. Heres 4 more reasons to carry a back-up gun. These four books which are all written from true incidents where a backup gun was or was not used (but wished they had one). They will open any cop’s eyes wide and make you think of your family and you’ll wonder, “why don’t I carry a back-up gun?” I highly recommend. -“The Onion Field,” by Joseph Wambaugh -“Jim Cirillo’s tales of the stakeout squad,” by Paul Kirchner. -“FBI Miami firefight,” by Edmundo & Elizabeth Mireles -“Echos of Shannon Street,” by James R. Howell. The first book and last book (especially the last book on my list) will rock you into thinking, “why didn’t I carry a back up sooner? Stay safe brother.

I’ll definitely find those books. Hopefully they have an audio version. That’s one thing I like to do while I’m riding around. Thanks for the input man

@@justapatrolman4246 You bet. I’ve got a couple more months left, then I’m done at 34 years. I still can’t fathom how drastically of a change the profession has evolved into.

I cannot even imagine. I’ll be saying the same thing in another twenty years I’m sure

Thanks man! I greatly appreciate the support

Haha I’m glad you laugh. We laugh at ourselves

@@justapatrolman4246 hahahaha I don't blame you! 😄

@@justapatrolman4246 I have to admit (even though I've seen it in some of your other videos) I do very much like your watch! It's cool 😁 I think I'll be leaving a million and one comments here 😁😄 All your videos happen to entertain me, that's pretty much what I watch over the weekend hahahaha (Friday night and Saturday night) 😁 Honestly, I'm not exactly sure what I'd be doing at night on the weekends if I didn't subscribe to your channel, or should I say, meet you on discord first hahaha I'd probably end up going straight to bed or even play a few games then crash lol Since I met you I've been well entertained 😁

@@justapatrolman4246 I must say, you do a better job at your video descriptions than I do 😁😁 haha

@@justapatrolman4246 what ever you do, when you watch videos on here, don't go according to the transcript 😄 I learnt my lesson hahahaha

Any recommendations on a good Fanny pack?

The knife legality depends on the state you’re in. Here in Louisiana anyone can carry an OTF. But I think they should be legal everywhere. They’re no more “dangerous” than any other knife. It sounds like you need to do a collection video!

Yep I understand. People may think I’m itching to use a knife on someone just because I have three of them on me at work. But that’s definitely not the case. It’s just options and preparation. I have yet to get a protech but I have played with one that belongs to a friend. Can’t remember which one it is off hand. They’re nice knives if his is any indication. Which one do you have?

@@justapatrolman4246 I have the Protech Arcform Slimfoot auto. It’s a sheepsfoot blade, great for slicing and cutting tasks, not good for piercing. And I totally understand carrying 3 knives. A knife is just another tool no matter what the job is, I carried a Microtech OTF for the longest time being a maintenance technician. It just worked for me.

Thanks for the understanding!😂 You don’t carry the microtech anymore?

@@justapatrolman4246 no I had a buddy that was a huge Microtech collector, and he offered to trade me a couple watches for my Microtech. I have a extensive knife collection so I took him up on the offer. My main carry lately has been a ASK by Askknives/Medford, and a Medford Smooth Criminal. It all depends on the day tbh on what I’m grabbing lol.

My grail knife right now is a praetorian ti. I want it almost bad enough to sell off my knives lol I’m a watch guy too. Sounds like we have some of the same interests

Pretty sure it’s a point blank but I’m not sure what model it is. Let me see if I can find out

It’s the point blank guardian

Well thank you! We try

I’ve only used a baton one time. It was to break a window. It also looks bad when we hit people with sticks. I HATE oc spray lol! If there’s the slightest bit of wind then everyone gets it. And if I have to transport someone who was sprayed, then my head is out the window the entire trip. I do have a fogger in my bag, but I don’t carry oc on my person

@@justapatrolman4246 I hear ya!

Thanks! Are you a dispatcher? Just asking because of your name

@@justapatrolman4246 No im a deputy

Awesome. Be careful

@@justapatrolman4246 You as well 🇺🇸

Thank you for your service to both of you. Be safe out there!

We’re issued gold dot for our 9mm and I want to say Winchester soft point for our 5.56

@@justapatrolman4246 oh ok just curious do you know what kind of gold dots you’re issued for 9mm

😳I didn’t know there were different kinds of gold dot😅. I’ll look next time I’m issued a box if I can remember

Well we do have a lot of matching things lol!

It’s an aegis mod with a “big beast” tank…or something. I can’t remember exactly. And as for the flavor, I don’t remember. But it was likely something fruity lol. I’ve since stopped vaping and gone back to dipping. I got pneumonia for the second time (likely not due to vaping), and my lungs aren’t the same as they were before

Oh no, sir sorry to hear about that. Yeah kicking the nicotine habit can be quite the challenge! Any tips for quitting?

@donaewestonpiperjr.4575 hahaha! Even if I did have some, would you really trust ME to give you advice? I’ve “quit” nicotine about 47.3 different times. And here I am🤣

It’s in my bag. It’s a large fan that’s too big to carry on me. Good eye

Couldn’t show it due to KZfaq guidelines😁

@@justapatrolman4246 KZfaq stinks

Yea there’s a lot I could do if YT weren’t the way it is

I have no idea what incident that is, but no. He’s from Louisiana

@@justapatrolman4246 ohh okay sorry. I got confused for a second because I saw something on the news about it and noticed he looked familiar lol. By the way like your channel dude!

No worries and thank you much!!

We are definitely not in the middle of nowhere hahaha. For some reason body cams were slower in adoption in north Louisiana than where I came from in south Louisiana. I absolutely miss having one. It has so many benefits and no negatives unless you’re a bad cop. Thank you for your support! 🙏

Nope that’s a new one. I get Orlando bloom and Joseph Gordon levitt a lot though

With the load bearing vest it is much better. Before we had them when everything was on my belt it did get painful sometimes.

@@justapatrolman4246 oh alright when everything was on your belt did you have anything like sciatica throughout the job or just normal low back pain?

Nothing that bothered me too bad on my off days. So I guess just minor pain

Oh yea if you get to use your own gear, you can absolutely have stuff DEVGRU would be proud of lol. You don’t sound like an asshole.

Hello! Where do you work?

@@justapatrolman4246 uh idk . I think he swat.

@Policenathan I’m confused

😁

They’re very very very very very very very very dark navy

@@justapatrolman4246 what brand?

I’ll have to look, I’m honestly not sure. Stand by a bit

Armor and carrier is point blank

I haven’t shared anything sensitive. I’ve done much less sharing than shows like Cops and Live PD have done. What I shared was a drop in the bucket compared to the reality of the job. But I’m hoping it helped someone view you and I as human instead of cold blooded racist killers like much of society thinks we are currently. That’s the purpose of all my videos. Not sharing the basics of what we do is part of the reason we have such a bad rep at the moment. Think of this video as a ride along. My agency offers them to the community (with a background check and liability paperwork). A ride along would expose someone to much more than this video did.

@@justapatrolman4246 Well said . Stay safe and always watch your back.👮‍♀️

Will do! I didn’t mean to sound like I don’t appreciate your concern and/or feedback. I just reread it and realized that might be the case

Thank you for supporting whatever police department patrols whatever jurisdiction you’re in by paying your taxes. I highly doubt it’s mine, which means you paid nothing towards any of my equipment.
