Keep in mind, that short of the badge they are wearing, the radio they communicate with, and the vehicle they are driving, MANY (if not most) LEO's and Fire/EMS folks provide their own gear from their own resources. This is especially true in small departments or volunteer units.

Sometimes one also forgets something on the nightstand at home.
