5.11 Tactical Patrol Ready 40 Liter Bag, Police Security Car Front Seat Organizer, Style 59012

As a LEO, this bag is about as essential to me as any other gear I carry on my person. It holds all of the following gear (and more): two file folders for paperwork/forms/ticket books that I use daily, drug testing kit, digital scale, digital camera, clipboards, in-car printer paper, hand sanitizer wipes/bottles, pens, cuff keys, cuffs, tourniquets, extra pocket notebooks, traffic vest, winter gloves/hat, extra cell phone chargers/cables, one of my back-up guns/ extra mags... I have never used the shoulder strap- I just lug it by the handles every shift, and its been great. The velcro has held its grip on pockets that I frequent, and I havent seen a single snag in the canvas exterior from daily use. Sure, its bulky, but I love having everything while on patrol that I need right next to me and right where its supposed to be. Bottom line: itll hold just about everything except a long gun. I couldnt effectively serve my city without this bag holding 99% of my gear/paperwork/etc. Its worth it.

Im a deputy sheriff. I use this bag to carry all essential things for patrol.

I got this for my father for Christmas as he’s a police officer and has to have a first responder/type bag on occasion that’s easy to tote around and he LOVES it. He loves everything 5.11 but this was an awesome gift for a police officer.

I was afarid it may not be big enough for what beat cop needed but hubby loved it! Great gift!

I am a truck driver who is home daily. I have had this for several months. All the zippers still work perfectly! No tears. The divider allows me to keep my clipboard and log book vertical rather than flat, so theyre not on top of or on bottom of anything. Problem solved! The curved shoulder strap is great. No problems with the clips for the strap. Lots of smaller pockets. I am super happy with this bag! No problems whatsoever. Worth every penny.

What is it: Patrol bag What I liked: Fantastic quality. I had originally purchased the 5.11 tactical go bag, but found it was too small for use as a range bag. This was a fantastic size - lots of room (could easily fit 2 or 3 pistols in hard cases inside with room to spare). Nice compartment separation for hearing/eye protection, ammo, and so on. High quality zippers, and they do allow a travel lock to be slipped into the zippers to keep it shut. High quality construction, with an ID panel on the outside to easily identify your bag. What I didnt like: Nothing - great bag, great quality - perfect size as a larger range bag. Would I buy it again/recommend it? Yes, good product would recommend for variety of uses.

I have destroyed more luggage over the last 30 years than I want to think about. I refuse to spend the money on a TUMI bag. I have destroyed very expensive Coach bags, and even a super expensive Zero Haliburton hardcase. I stuff my cases with paper and myriad cords and devices. This cop bag has become my working briefcase. Its size garners comments (how can you carry such a big bag???). It is BIG (i need it to be) but it is LIGHT, tough, and (generally) well designed. It doesnt look like a typical briefcase but it is NOT out of place in a business setting -- it doesnt scream police or military equipment.: The ONE thing I wish for is a larger external pocket big enough for my small laptop --- for temporary stowing as I go through airport security. I am considering buying another to have in reserve after I destroy this one ... though it is holding up really well, so I do not know when that will be.

I officiate High School track meet and have accumulated quite a bid of gear; tape measures, starter pistols, clip boards, stop watches etc. This bag holds it all along with water bottles and I can strap an umbrella to the top for foul weather. Its reasonably water resistant and seems sturdy enough to make it through a few years of hard use. I carry about 25 pounds of equipment. I like this bag, I had a back pack which held most of this stuff and if I put it on the ground it would fall over and always gave me trouble finding things. This bag sits up nice and opens wide to view everything. The only thing I would change is the top, it has two zip compartments and a Velcro flap which hold paper and pens. The problem I have is when the top is open it flips over and the compartments are upside down. it would be great if they were the other way around or there were straps to hold the top vertical. Other than that its a great bag.

I use this everyday as my patrol bag. This is big enough to hold the essentials. This also fits perfectly on the passenger seat. Sturdy construction makes me confident it will last a long time.

I know the dimensions were posted for this bag; however, its much larger than I anticipated. I thought it would be too small. Its perfect. Really deep. Sturdy. Stands on its own. The water bottle holders fit 1 liter poland spring bottles completely. The side pockets are alright. Small, but good for holding things like screwdrivers and tools. I havent found a use for the front outer pocket. Its a bit tight. Maybe some folded documents. The maglite holder is useless. It will fit on a 4D+ maglite which is fine; but, it wont hold it secure and it slips out from the back end and hangs. The pockets and pen holders on the inside of the flap are great. I have pens, phone charger, batteries for flashlight, and medicine in this part. The larger interior pocket is great. Very deep and wide enough to fit a Cold Steel Trench Hawk in. (Or SOG Tactical Hawk). Right now with the dividers I have a Trench hawk, Gerber LMF 2 in the longer section. 4 boxes of 9mm (50rnd) ammo in the smaller section. A change of clothes and a box of (200) nitrile gloves. There is plenty of room for more stuff. I purchased this bag as a go bag for my car for everyday. Still have to fill it with more stuff like medical supplies, etc. The construction of this bag is great. Im really liking the 5.11 brand. (I havent tried their boots; but seeing them on other people after use and hearing them complain about comfort I doubt Ill be switching from bates any time soon.) The only complaint I have is the divider on the inside is a bit hard to attach properly. Its great that it can be removed but its a little tricky getting the velcro seated perfect. Not really an issue just anal about it. Perfect size to hold a lot of gear and still fits perfectly on a front seat. Highly recommend this bag.
