What is an External Carrier?  Why do Officers Need Them?

"WOULD YOU BELIEVE THAT ACCORDING TO THE NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH, 62 PERCENT OF POLICE OFFERS SUFFER FROM LOW BACK PAIN? OF THOSE 62 PERCENT, ONLY 8 PERCENT HAD BACK PAIN BEFORE BEGINNING THEIR CAREER IN LAW ENFORCEMENT."

"I finally received my load bearing vest yesterday...I was so excited to take it for a test drive today... and I have to say, y'all, this feels like Christmas! All of the weight from my duty belt redistributed from my waist to my upper body... it is definitely a relief. I actually had to adjust my belt a size down and dust off my smaller pants.  "After many years of just living with the pain until I couldn't take it anymore, 3 back surgeries and 1 year on light duty... this chick has come a long way. It's been a very long time coming but I'm so happy to finally have the gear I need to keep doing what I love."  --- Officer J. Schraudt
