Along with getting heavier, belts have grown more crowded. Some officers, especially slimmer ones, have a challenge fitting everything.

The Canton police department experimented with adding suspenders, but several officers, including Sluder himself, weren’t fans of that solution.

Officers have to know their utility belt like the back of their hand, so they can swiftly grab the right tactical gear without taking their eyes off a suspect.

One new gadget that hasn’t found a home on utility belts are cell phones. Most officers carry their cell phones in their pockets or leave them in their cars to avoid the risk of breaking in the event of an incident.

“We have reduced what’s on our belts,” said Maggie Valley Police Chief Russ Gilliland. “We’ve moved some of the things up to a vest, so the guys can distribute the weight of the equipment a little better. It helps ease the stress on their backs and hips. It helps for comfort and wellness for the officer.”

Instead, they carry a gadget called a BolaWrap, which shoots out a cord that wraps around a suspect to restrain them. Gilmore said BolaWraps serve as a de-escalation tool without the potential repercussions of a stun gun.

Wilke said there were also changes to how the belts were made — recently, nylon has been used as a way to widen the belt, which adds support. And some deputies have used vests to help with the heavy loads.

Law enforcement agencies in Haywood County have been looking for solutions to the utility belt conundrum, from suspenders to take some of the load off the hips to equipment vests.

The sheer weight isn’t the only issue, but the bulk of the belts create pressure points for patrol officers spending long stints in the driver’s seat.

“If you have less of a waistline, you can’t carry as many things on your belt,” said Waynesville Assistant Police Chief Brandon Gilmore.

Far from the old days of carrying a gun and handcuffs, law enforcement officers have added a growing arsenal of equipment to their utility belts over the years.

Used on sites where debris such as contaminated liquids can occur the containment bunding mat is a cost-effective solution of preventing the spread and requires no additional support, simply unroll and use. The bunding mat has unique internal collapsible side supports which can fit absorbent booms to soak up spills.

Gilliland went down an inventory of what the officers carry on them in general — two pairs of handcuffs, a firearm and extra magazines for it, a taser, pepper spray and a tourniquet.

“Suspenders have reduced the day-to-day wear of duty belts simply by spreading the load across the upper body,” said newly-elected Haywood County Sheriff Bill Wilke.

The Canton police department is also looking at adding vests sometime this year, but are still exploring the different styles.

“If you’ve never put on a belt like that, you need to experience it. This two-and-a-half inch thick leather belt, it’s not flexible,” said Canton Police Chief Scott Sluder. “It’s caused officers to have back and hip problems. Some of them have to retire early because of that.”

“We’re picky about what type of vest we’d have,” Sluder said. “We want to maintain a professional look. We want the outer vest to still look like a uniform shirt.”

Now, with many officers working out more and slimming down, thanks in part to incentives for officers to keep a healthier lifestyle, there’s less room on the belts.
