[edit] Police officers Duty Belt

Should there been an article on the Duty belt? "Duty Belt" redirects to Belt (clothing) under the section Variants

I have got a good picture of my own duty belt here, make sure you read the summary about that picture!

I'd say the belt article could use beefing up first, as there's only one sentence there on duty belts. Your photo and maybe a more detailed description would help improve that article. If there's too much to say about it in a section there, or if that section seems to overwhelm the article, then it should have it's own. Not even Batman's belt has it's own article (and his holds a Batarang!), but on the other hand, Stable belt has an article. Another option is to add something to Uniforms and equipment of the British police. bobanny 18:15, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

I don't like the way your CS/PAVA is pointing at me in that photograph! I would agree with Bobanny to put a "see Uniforms and equipment of the British police" in the appropriate area of the "belt" article, and put your picture there. There aren't enough pictures in that article as it is, and it's not like we don't have the ability to take the photos... SGGH 19:28, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Just note that with that photo of the duty belt of mine, it looks like my speedcuffs are on my right side and that my gun is on my left side (not visible) making me seem left handed but infact it is not, the camera i took it with flipped or mirrored the image so everything you looking at is on my left side going right. Batman does have its own article. But also Sam Browne belt which some law enforcement officers wear (with a strap going over their shoulder) has an article. I will play it by ear and tinker around a bit.

By sure to check out my unfinished view on police gear which i started yesterday, i will tell you when i have finished it so you can have a proper read of it! Dep. Garcia ( Talk | Help Desk | Complaints ) 13:09, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

It got prodded! SGGH 17:43, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

I know :-( but I got a piczo website where you can see it, i still need to do loads on it, have a read sometime (it might even save your life oneday ;-)) check it out at Dep. Garcia ( Talk | Help Desk | Complaints ) 19:26, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Probably will, when a drunk 6 foot seven rugy player comes barreling at me and I snatch up my PNB and try to spray him with it, while my PAVA sits snugly in a different part of my belt and sniggers at me.... when I saw your edit summary I couldn't help thinking "a cunning plan?" SGGH 20:09, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

I have to say the radio wire thing wouldn't have occured to me, but someone would have certainly pointed it out and ensured I run it up the back under my stabbie. Anyway, much of this content could be de-bloggified and put into the uk police equipment article along with that image, do you think the more admin side of things like PNB cases and things be in there, or your needle stop gloves? But then those things are generic to all police forces/military fores I suppose. Certainly put the pic across if you haven't already. Also, they let you have your PAVA at home?!?!

If I took my CS spray home, god knows what will happen!!! "I was Wearing this while off duty in the station,". I will soon by taking more pictures of my belt, and posting them here and on my piczo advice site. The radio wire does really occure to my either because i have one of those sepura radio which attaches near the shoulder of my vest, (near enough). I have still loads to write in that article of mine on piczo, like boots, gloves, torches, handcuffs & cases, trousers, shirts, keys, rescue knifes all that other junk that sits on our belts. I will "deblog" some of my advice i stick it in some article somewhere. Dep. Garcia ( Talk | Help Desk | Complaints ) 11:21, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
