Police officers require certain tools and equipment to carry out their day-to-day duties, such as the obvious—patrol vehicles, uniforms, badges, bullet resistant vests, and firearms. But there are other things that make their jobs go more smoothly. Things that help to better organize and maybe provide an additional level of safety. Actually, some of these “things” could also help the average Joe and/or Jane. For example:

Writers often interview people such as experts in various fields such as law enforcement, medical, courts, and even other writers. Therefore, wouldn’t it be nice to have pre-printed “forms” to use to record interview information, instead of showing up with a messy and pre-scribbled legal pad or backs of envelopes that once contained utility bills or late notices from mortgage companies and banks.

Cops often use “Field Interview Notebooks” that feature boxes for dates, times, names, contact information, etc. There’s also an accompanying page for note-taking. These handy little items are perfect for recording interview notes while maintaining an organized, detailed record of the information gathered. Yes, they’d be a great addition to any writer’s toolbox.

 

 
Knives of various types are often carried by police officers. They do so various reasons, such as cutting seatbelt material to free someone who’s trapped inside a vehicle and even cutting through clothing to apply bandage material to a severe wound. These are a couple of the many potential uses. KA-BAR’s 1481 TDI Law Enforcement Serrated Edge Knife is a popular choice. It’s also a desired knife of hunters and even people who simply need or want a decent knife to have handy for whatever that may cutting or whittling. This particular knife is easily clipped to belts of any type, police duty belts, and in the space between both belts.
 

 
Made from machined AIRCRAFT GRADE ALUMINUM for Superior Strength, this special, multi-use pen, or others like it, is carried by officers because of it’s versatility. It’s, of course, a ballpoint pen for writing; however, it’s also a mini-flashlight, a bottle opener, and it’s a GLASS BREAKER.

Having a glass-breaking tool handy could save the lives of people who’re trapped inside crashed vehicles. This includes the life of the person in possession of the pen if they’re the person who’s trapped. A handy tool for both officers and citizens.
 

 
Trunk storage and organization is an issue with any type or make patrol car. In fact, citizens also face the same woes—where to store this and that, all while preventing those and “thems” from rolling to and fro. Therefore, Fortem Car Trunk organizers are wonderful solutions to maintaining proper control of everything from loose ammo and paperwork to exercise equipment and tomatoes.
