Spacesaver in particular explains that specialized SWAT storage solutions can help facilitate quick preparation. “The stuff you need to bring with you needs to be in the right location and easy to grab,” says the guide. “At the same time, SWAT gear is among the most expensive at a police department, so you want to make sure it’s protected from damage, loss, or even theft.”
Among the recommended storage options are doorless Spacesaver FreeStyle® lockers, as these will allow SWAT officers to easily see and access equipment without wasting time with keys or combinations. SWAT departments considering this option are advised to place the lockers in a locked room to prevent security issues.
Another recommended option is to use Spacesaver 4-post shelving to create doorless shelves or ‘locker-style cubbies.’ With different-sized shelves for various items, this setup allows equipment to be categorized by where it is worn on the body for quick access. For instance, helmets can be placed on top shelves, clothing on hanger bars, and boots on lower shelves. As this option also lacks locking capabilities, it is recommended to set the shelves in a locked room.
If a police department lacks the facilities for a dedicated SWAT equipment room that can be locked, traditional lockers can also be used. Combination or keyless digital locks on lockers can ensure the security of expensive equipment and can be placed alongside a wall in a hallway or other open area to save space.
“Police departments with a tactical squad know that when it’s time to go, it’s time to go - with no searching or retrieving involved,” explains the guide. “We develop and manufacture a variety of innovative storage products designed to help clients better manage their time, space, and security.”
