Taser X24to neutralize a criminal. There is a tradition in the police academy - each of the students must withstand this charge.

In the patrol car is a non-lethal shotgun and additional body armor. After a shootout in Server Hollywood with two bank robbers, Los Angeles police began to arm themselves with M16, and the cars were reinforced with special inserts in the doors.

The patrol uniform is the same for all officers — black pants and a shirt. The only difference is the chevrons, which determine the rank of the police officer and membership of the division.

Chest cameras

The US police very often have to justify their actions to the public. This question is especially acute when the actions of officers lead to the death of the victim or suspect.

In 2013, the first 30 officers became participants in a pilot program to equip patrol cameras attached to a uniform. And with 2014, the gradual purchase of cameras for all officers began.

In March, 2015 of the year, Los Angeles policemen shot 43-year-old Charlie Künang, who refused to get out of his tent, which stood on South san pedro street. This incident was filmed on a cell phone camera and received much publicity in the media.

The police department then published a record of the officers' chest chambers to clarify what was happening. Some records show how Charlie reached for the gun of one of the officers, after which he was killed by three members of the department. The actions of the officers were recognized as legitimate.

Chest cameras are used not only by the LA police. Many US agencies also switched to the use of this equipment. 18 March 2018, Sacramento police shot and killed an unarmed man, taking the phone in his hand for a gun. The management of the Department published records from the breastplates of officers to confirm the validity of their actions.
