You joke about paying to carry a glock and cuffs, but isn't that already true??? The city attempted to get us to pay 450 bucks for our glocks and our duty belts, but back then the FOP was able to shoot that down (thank you David James). Thanks to the FOP back then, I still carry an issued glock that is maintained by the city. I feel sorry for the newer officers that are required to buy their own friggin gun just to be able to have a job....that sucks.
