Thanks for the clear up. I guess I have to cash in my IOU cards.

Thanks brother!

Hmmm.. I would have never have guessed that you would need an NYPD ID to purchase a pair of pants or a shirt. Learned something new today.

The NYPD Equipment Section, both the physical location in Police Headquarters and the online version, is restricted to employees only.

The prices they have are great! Can I purchase my uniform gear from this place?

Considering the website is named "NYPD Equipment" and to purchase equipment you have to give NYPD identification, I would say 'no'.

Perhaps this will help you out.... I had a coca bolo stick, straight wood, but solid.... I have the expandable now, and im not a big fan of it. Great when I'm riding a Bike, but in a knock down drag out, a PR-24 s better IMHO.

Hey that's an interesting list. I always wondered what they had to pay for certain stuff. Thanks.

The jackets in the picture are no longer used, a newer style is now being used. That picture is probably at least 3-4 years old.

Would someone have a picture of that newer NYPD jacket?

As far as the batons go, it depends when you came on, someone from the 80's or earlier is carrying wood, a little later, PR-24, some newer ones have asp, then you have the older cops being trained on Asp, so there are more than a few batons out there. The basic rule is you use what you were trained on when you were hired.

RMP = Radio Motor Patrol. Basically just a fancy way of saying Police Car.

Thanks for the answers!

If you mean something that is a pain in the *** to lug and carry around especially in an RMP that can't just be stored in your jacket, and something that isn't much more effective, then yes.

I would take straight baton anytime over expandable because they just don't work.

What is RMP?

No. Auxiliary cops can only carry batons made out of wood (I believe its hickory wood).

The Regular cops can carry the wooden batons, ASP expandable batons, polycarbonate batons or the PR-24 (i.e. side handle batons).

How does this system work? Can officers just choose that what they get issued? Can they say I want PR-24 and some want ASP?

[AUX/PD]

So Aux actually get better batons.

No Auxiliary Police Officers carry a straight baton and can only carry a straight baton. NYPD Officers carry expandibles.
