Jimmy got two stock revolver holsters from the equipment room. Because no one uses revolvers now, all the previous equipment is gathering dust in the equipment room. Gun holsters are consumables. Jimmy just told the custodian. Just got it.
A leg holster. Tie your revolver to the thigh of your right leg. The drawstring of the holster is hung on the duty belt to ensure that it will not fall due to too heavy weight when walking. Take it with you to get used to walking and running to ensure safety. And it is easy to extract, so I feel relieved in the end.
An underarm holster is not suitable for use while on duty, but it is very suitable for use when wearing civilian clothes after get off work. Because you need to wear body armor when patrolling, the armpit holster will be stuck in the body armor position, and the position where the gun is placed will bulge, affecting the movement of the arm. After changing into civilian clothes, putting a gun inside the coat will hardly be visible from the outside. come out.
The previous spare gun was located on the calf near the ankle and could not be seen from the outside when the trouser legs were lowered. But now it uses a revolver and the barrel is relatively long. If it is located on the calf, it cannot be pulled out in time, which will cause safety risks.
Another alternative position is the lower back, but because you have to drive for a long time every day, putting the gun in the lower back will be awkward and uncomfortable while driving.
Jimmy hung an extra small bag on his duty belt, which contained more than a dozen rounds of revolver bullets as backup. Plus the three magazines of the main gun, the firepower was absolutely sufficient.
…
Jimmy has become completely accustomed to highway patrols. The daily patrols are similar, and the routes are basically familiar. Even if there are suspects who escape from the police, they are not afraid of not being able to drive fast because they are not familiar with the road conditions.
Driving slowly on the road, Jimmy mainly catches behaviors such as speeding and reckless driving. Some of them are because there are no cars in front or behind and the road is relatively clean, so the driver speeds unconsciously. In this case, just stop and give a warning. Well, some reckless driving is drug driving or drunk driving. Speeding or swaying on the road, and driving across two lanes are definitely high-risk behaviors. Not only are they dangerous to themselves, they will also affect other vehicles. There are many reasons for car accidents. Most are reckless driving.
The other thing is road rage. In American road rage, it is really possible to grab a gun directly from the car. This is completely different from the domestic quarrels where people film cars because of the injuries caused by road rage. Very many.
"Adam28, the Highway Patrol requested support to intercept a recklessly driven vehicle traveling from south to north along Highway 430. The vehicle is a black Honda Civic with license plate number XXX XXX. Please wait for the interception at the Glen Road entrance of Highway 430. It is estimated to take 10 minutes. arrive."
"Adam28 received."
Jimmy turned on his police lights and siren, ran directly to the highway entrance, and waited for the interception next to the entrance.
Almost five minutes later, police lights could be seen flashing in the distance on the highway, and a black car was running at high speed in front of the police car. The Jimmy police car took off and entered the road, gradually accelerating to 50mph, waiting for the black car approaching at high speed.
When the car approached, Jimmy also started to accelerate, and then followed directly behind the car. Because there were many vehicles on the road, there was no way to directly PIT, so he could only follow to the front.
There are many Japanese cars in the United States. They are cheap and fuel-efficient. They have outstanding advantages and disadvantages. The speed limit of the vehicles is not high, and police cars are all customized, with a maximum speed of 150mph and 240 kilometers per hour. This is a crushing blow to many Japanese cars. At such a speed, if there weren't too many vehicles on the road, the state police would have killed him long ago, and they wouldn't have called the dispatch center for support.
Jimmy looked in the rearview mirror. The state trooper was just a few dozen meters behind him. There was currently no plan to overtake. Jimmy continued to accelerate. He had the impression that there was a not particularly big turn ahead, but cars would usually be there. slow down.
When the surrounding cars saw the police car chasing, they gradually slowed down and moved away from the lane. Jimmy looked at the curve and counted down to himself. After reaching the curve, he slowed down slightly, then accelerated directly and hit it. The rear wheel of the black car drifted. , and then spun directly onto the highway, while Jimmy rushed forward against the guardrail, followed by the state trooper. He was not worried that the driver of the black car could escape.
Slowing down in front, turning the car around, Jimmy returned to the accident site. The driver had been handcuffed by the state trooper and put into the back seat of the police car. Jimmy got out of the car and said hello to the state trooper, making sure there was no problem, and drove down the road. , the rest is the matter of the state police. For the highway patrol, the daily job is to patrol the interstate highway. The work he does is actually similar to Jimmy, except that Jimmy usually works on highways and small roads within the county. Patrolling the road.
Jimmy drove back to the police station. He had already reported it on the way back. He only needed the garage to check the left front fender and left body, and then repaint the sheet metal. There should be no damage to other parts. He changed the police equipment to another police car, removed the radio and replaced it, tidied it up, and set off again.
The police station generally has several spare police cars. Apart from the hardware frame, there is nothing else in it, such as radio stations and patrol equipment. However, basic police lights and siren management stations are no problem, and the cooperative repair shops can also Police vehicles will be inspected regularly.
This is only for police stations with a relatively small number of people, such as county police or rural police. If it is a large police station, they have their own maintenance department, which can repair and modify police vehicles, add bulletproof panels, etc. Therefore, the State Police Highway Patrol never cares about the loss of their own vehicles during PIT, because the maintenance department will provide them with all fully equipped vehicles and many spare police vehicles.
In addition, let’s popularize a little knowledge about police cars. When watching TV series and movies, many policemen open the front doors and shoot directly at people. That’s because current police cars require front doors to be filled with bulletproof steel plates and Kevlar materials. However, Only the front two doors have it, but not the rear. In addition, before 2006, most police cars did not have bulletproof panels. If you want to rely on police cars to stop bullets, only the engine position and the wheel hub are relatively safe. The door area will be directly traversed by rifle bullets, which has no bulletproof effect and is very dangerous. Those in the movie who hide directly in the middle of the vehicle and use the vehicle to block bullets are basically equivalent to committing suicide and gambling on the hit rate of the gunman on the opposite side.
Jimmy's year is 2000, so except for frame reinforcement and customization as required before leaving the factory, police cars of this era are basically the same as cars in the civilian market. The era of truly customized bulletproof police cars will have to wait a few years.
After the police cars are retired, all police station customizations will be removed, changed to ordinary paint, and then flowed into the second-hand market. If you are interested, you can pay attention to the auction of depreciated items of the US police station.
