I know of no one that wears sap gloves.

All of our gear is black. I use leather and not nylon. I take it you are referring to our equipment belts. Well, we have alot of junk to carry: Radio, Gun, Asp, Handcuffs, OC Spary, Flashlight, Extra magzines, audio recorders etc. We do not wear pads or riot gear.

Shaved heads: Safety issue for most of us. People can not grab hair you do not have. There is no hair to get into your eyes when it rains or its windy. Also, alot of us are ex-military and we are just used to it. Some are just plain going bald. :)

Jump boots: I personally do not like jump boots and go with the standard military type issue boot. Why? Steele tows offer protection and the boot gives more support. A boot does not foul or come off. The laces do not get in the way. Alot more reasons...
