What Does a Public Safety Officer Keep in Their Vehicle?
As a public safety officer, police vehicle cargo storage becomes a paramount aspect of the job. There is an enormous amount of equipment that must be kept within reach at all times, whether on your person or in your vehicle. We know it can be daunting to have so much equipment to keep organized and stored. However, with Troy Products cargo storage solutions, it’s incredibly easy to keep your vehicle in order. Here are the four categories in which most police vehicle equipment falls, and how to best store it to optimize your workflow on duty.
Emergency Incident Response
A substantial part of the job as a public safety officer entails responding to incidents that present an immediate and ongoing threat to innocent bystanders. When you’re called to respond, it’s imperative that you have all the necessary equipment to protect yourself and others. Store hard armor, extra magazines, and weapons with a greater range in your vehicle’s trunk for easy access if needed. Troy Products manufactures state-of-the-art police vehicle weapon vaults that can securely store your extra weapons and ammunition in your vehicle’s trunk. Our weapon vaults are made with heavy-duty materials and all-welded construction, including a 1” thick rigid foam interior. The black powder coat and wrinkle finish add further durability, while two draw-tight locking handles keep out potential intruders. A weapons vault is the perfect solution for emergency incident response equipment that requires easy access yet demands to be securely kept and stored away from the public.
Emergency Care Response
Sometimes public safety officers are faced with emergencies that are of a medical nature more than a criminal one. In instances like these, your police vehicle cargo storage should be well-stocked with first aid equipment such as an AED. You should also keep a trauma kit on hand in case of a gunshot wound or other injury incurred in the line of duty and you may have to patch up yourself. These items can be kept well organized amongst your police console accessories or in a police vehicle storage vault.
Investigative and Reporting Duties
Being a police officer isn’t always being active and fighting crime. Sometimes (oftentimes, some would argue), more time is spent sitting in the car and filling out important paperwork. Investigating and reporting duties are a major part of the job, so keeping your files and reporting equipment in order is just as important as storing your tactical gear. Paperwork has largely moved to the digital space, so laptops and printers are more commonplace than paper files. For digital reporting needs, Troy Products offers police console accessories such as laptop mounts and consoles with computer decks. However, physical paperwork hasn’t been entirely eliminated just yet, so for those instances where you need to store your papers and files, we offer police console accessories such as flip-up writing surfaces and external storage boxes to keep your important paperwork. No matter what your file storage needs are, paper or digital, we’ve got you covered so you can stay optimized and organized.
Personal Care Items
As a public safety officer, your vehicle is your mobile office, and no one spends more time in it than you do. As such, you’ll need to keep a variety of items that suit your personal needs. That can include a raincoat for the rainy season, gloves during the snow, or bottles of water for the summer heat. Whatever it is, keep it organized with Troy Products police vehicle cargo storage.
