Which of the following is NOT part of standard duty belt equipment?

• A. Handcuff key
• B. Pepper spray
• C. Radio case
• D. Nightstick holder

Answer: (B)

A standard duty belt is organized to carry tools you need for immediate control, restraint, and communication. Handcuffs and their keys are kept on the belt for rapid securing of a detainee. A radio case keeps the communicator within easy reach so you can stay in touch with dispatch and teammates. A nightstick holder ensures an impact weapon is readily accessible for defense or control when needed. Pepper spray, while common in many agencies, is not always mounted on the belt; it is often carried in a separate pouch or pocket or on different gear depending on policy. In this context, pepper spray isn’t considered part of the standard belt setup, which is why it’s the correct choice.
