Just as a matter of interest, as I have some scattered stuff I scavenged from assorted sites of unconfirmed reliability, what sort of equipment other than weapons does a 'typical' (or local to wherever you are) copper have ...
* On their persons
* Mounted on/in their vehicle
* In the trunk of their vehicle
It's sort of peripherally important for an adventure scenario I am writing.
I realise most of you will probably have info on US Police, but I'd be interested in Canadian and European forces as well (and, really, Police from anywhere)
I mean, do they wear body armour all the time, as some TV shows suggest? What sort of radios do they have - Car mounted or only personal sets? Do they have old style Handcuffs or the newer disposable Cable Tie-like ones, or both? Is there a First Aid kit in the Boot (Trunk)?
That sort of nuts and bolts stuff.
