I bet moving around with a lot of police gears strapped to your body isn’t a lot of comforts. Regardless of how uncomfortable they might be, a cop has to move about with them and when its finally time to take them off. Oh! What a relief!
But remember these gears ought to be in very good conditions and must be kept safe too. Nothing keeps police gear safer than a duty rack. A duty rack can also be regarded as a gear rack. This is simply a series of one or more shelves packed together for holding the gears. This can also come in form of a locker.
These racks can be built in different forms and shapes. Regardless of how it is built, there are certain features that a great duty rack most possess. Some of these features are listed here:
- A duty rack can be built to have drawers. These drawers can be used for storing heavy gears like the boot.
- A duty rack should also have a drying shelf/rack. This is to enable a cop to hang gear to dry out naturally. It could be a static rail section.
- Duty racks need to be tough, secure, and built to last. When built from a heavy-duty construction, the rack/shelf will suit almost any type of police gear.
- Charging points inside police lockers/shelves are important to keep devices in charge. This allows gadgets to be charged even during off-hours and ready for use on the next working day.
Officers’ lives and safety depend on their armor/gear, so they need utmost care and attention. Paying close attention to these features when considering a duty rack would go a long way in maintaining and securing police gear.
