A Jersey City police duty belt -- equipped with a firearm -- was found on a Jersey City street Sunday night, authorities confirmed.

The duty belt was found on Winfield Avenue near Kennedy Boulevard at approximately 8:30 p.m. and was turned over to police, Jersey City police spokeswoman Kimberly Wallace-Scalcione said.

Police refused to release any other information on the incident, citing an internal affairs investigation into the incident.

A duty belt is worn by officers and regularly includes handcuffs, a gun holster, a flashlight; and it can also hold chemical irritant or a taser.

Don’t drink and police.

What? Didn’t you ever misplace something? Sheesh...lighten-up!

There was a case a few years back where a cop had left his belt and gun in a restroom stall....................

Those things are heavy. Maybe it fell off? /S

One thing is for sure. The local precinct captain will be very angry.

Opus?

In CCW class they teach you to first hitch up your trou with the holster empty, THEN place the weapon in it.

Now, just when did this cop have his “oh s***!!” moment?

Put it on the trunk of his POV and drove off. It could happen.

I once put a McDonald’s take-out order on the roof of my car, then drove off.

And I am suing McDonald’s because of that. They should have warned me not to put my order on my car’s roof. Not only did I lose my order...I suffered severe mental anguish when I saw the spilled Coca-Cola on my car’s trunk.

One was left hanging by the trigger guard on the coat near me a few years ago. It was traced to a local cop.

In NJ if you picked it up to secure it, you would likely be doing serious time for illegal possession of a weapon.

Looks like some NJ cop just got caught with his pants down.
