Belt Holsters
Nearly every police officer who works a beat has a belt clip holster issued to him. The belt clip holster is attached to the officer's belt, on whichever side of his body is the strongest. This type of holster is meant to be seen. Its visibility acts as a deterrent to potential criminals and lets civilians know the law enforcement officer is able to offer protection with a ready firearm. It is worn over clothing and is always available to the officer, allowing the gun within to be drawn quickly when the time comes to use it.
Holsters that clip to the belt are usually made out of leather or nylon. This type of device is exposed to the weather and needs to be made from materials that will not be damaged from the exposure. In most cases, the gun is covered by a flap that may be fastened by magnets, springs or thumb-break snaps. This protects the gun and gives the officer just enough time when drawing it to decide whether its use is truly warranted.
