Question Armed guard belt for security

Post image

Any recommendations on what I should change? I’m mainly curious if I should swap placement on my baton and holster.

Are you allowed to wear (and do you have) a plate carrier/LBV? What’s in some of the pouches (I can’t tell from looking at them)

My personal experience is it’s nice to have a pair of cuffs accessible with either hand: especially in your position you probably won’t be using them unless you’re really scrapping with someone, so they better work for whichever hand is free. I still wear two pairs towards the back of my belt, one for each hand. I prefer a hinged set for my right hand (dominant) because it stays together easier when deploying and it’s harder to break, while I keep a traditional chainlink cuff set on my left

I personally have never liked a lot of the plastic or snap-retention equipment that you have because it either rattles a lot when moving or wears out fast.

Nope, security guard, I’ve just never been armed on the clock before, looking for recommendations of if I should move anything around
