Police and Military Dress for Success…in and out of Novels!

April 25, 2009

As a mystery/suspense writer I’m always looking for some great research sites that help me make my stories more realistic. I have great police contacts, but I know nearly nothing about the type of clothing cops wear. I’ve tried Google searches to come up with a picture of police in their gear, and even browsed police sites, but nothing really gave me a close up photo of what I needed to know to dress my military/cop man until I found this site.

Right now my ex-cop is wearing a holster on his ankle, but unless I actually saw one close up, I wouldn’t know what it looked like or how many straps it had. This page has several holsters, magazine cases, and harnesses to make sure your character has what he needs when the bullets start flying. And now I can write from real knowledge instead of my imagination.

They even have authentic 5.11 Tactical Pants and other clothing. This site has truly opened up a whole new wardrobe to my good and bad guys!

From the day I received my first diary in the second grade, I've had a passion expressing myself through writing. Later as a journalist and novelist, I realized words, if used powerfully, have the ability to touch, stir, and reach from the depths of one soul to another. Today as a writing and health coach, I inspire others to live their extraordinary life and encourage them to share their unique stories.
