      How?! Every cop I’ve seen has a proper holster to prevent that. If you know how they work you might snatch it, but it would still be a bit awkward.

          It was in a poor / underdeveloped country.

          Damn, I would have thought even the US would have holsters with a basic retention mechanism by now.

    What are those two little pockets for? I can see one has the shape of handcuffs, and the radio. But those two smaller ones are eluding me.

      If you’re talking about the things just left of the handcuff case, those are little webbing loops that snap closed and keep the outer belt secured to the inner belt

          Reference tactical belts in general, there’s typically an inner belt that fits inside belt loops, then a bigger outer belt that Velcroes onto the inner belt. The outer belt is what you attach gear to, and keepers (the webbing loops) are required partially because the belt attachment loops of the gear obstruct the Velcro, weakening the connection. As to why you don’t just throw all that stuff on the inner belt, I think it’s a question of ergonomics and space required. Not 100% on that one
