duty belt

Cop's equipment belt

A duty belt is a heavy, reinforced belt worn by police officers, security guards, and military personnel to carry equipment.

Unlike ordinary belts, it's designed to support the weight of a holstered firearm, handcuffs, radio, baton, pepper spray, and other tools of the job.

Also called a gun belt or service belt.

The officer's duty belt creaked as he shifted his weight.
