Load outs

I have no personal experience with police gear, so take everything herein with a grain of salt.

Bulletproof vest, of course, with whatever they like to call tactical load-bearing webbing/attachment points these days.

The round thing on the right-hand two is looks like a pouch for handcuffs.

Upper left or right, squarish, with the yellow label, is probably a bodycam. (And mike. Don't the UK police require that yellow "video & audio" label on their body cams?)

Left-hand two look like they have mobile phone cases left of the central pouch.

Sometimes a pouch is just a pouch. It carries stuff. What stuff? Whatever they're likely to need. Zip ties, gloves, tissue. Maybe first aid, but that's probably elsewhere. Maybe additional magazines, but I don't know how many cops are really going to pack a lot of ammo.

Right of the pouch is the radio, with the ovalish handset above it.

Leftmost officer looks to have pepper spray. The woman next to him has a couple of pouches, which again could be almost anything. Maybe an actual cop might recognize one. I'll guess at least one of them has a multitool or pocketknife in their personal "custom" gear (possibly the small sheath on the right-most officer.)

On the left, a collapsible baton.
