If you were to put the same ALS lock on a holster that does not meet our duty requirements, it\u2019s just a security device.\u201d\u00a0<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to Higginbotham, duty rated doesn\u2019t only refer to the strength of the holster itself, but also its ability to remain on an officer\u2019s belt. \u00a0<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe take into account not only the strength of the holster, the strength of the security devices, but then we take into play the belt loops and how it attaches to the belt on the person who is wearing it because that gun not only has to stay on the holster, but the holster has to stay physically on the person who is wearing it in order for it to achieve a duty rating for us.\u201d\u00a0<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To find out more about Safariland\u2019s holsters, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/safariland.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/safariland.com\/<\/a> \u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f6c587d elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"f6c587d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*! elementor - v3.20.0 - 20-03-2024 *\/\n.elementor-widget-image{text-align:center}.elementor-widget-image a{display:inline-block}.elementor-widget-image a img[src$=\".svg\"]{width:48px}.elementor-widget-image img{vertical-align:middle;display:inline-block}<\/style>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/safariland.com\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"66\" src=\"https:\/\/virtualacademy.officer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/SAF.LOGO_.HORIZONTAL_600px.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-2340\" alt=\"Safariland\" srcset=\"https:\/\/virtualacademy.officer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/SAF.LOGO_.HORIZONTAL_600px.png 600w, https:\/\/virtualacademy.officer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/SAF.LOGO_.HORIZONTAL_600px-300x33.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Understanding what makes a Safariland holster Duty Rated https:\/\/vimeo.com\/803246626 David Higginbotham, Product Marketing Manager for the Safariland Group, spoke to Officer Media Group Editor Paul&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/virtualacademy.officer.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2442"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/virtualacademy.officer.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/virtualacademy.officer.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/virtualacademy.officer.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/virtualacademy.officer.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2442"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/virtualacademy.officer.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2442\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2447,"href":"https:\/\/virtualacademy.officer.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2442\/revisions\/2447"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/virtualacademy.officer.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2442"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
