You never met a detective?
Suit, tie, badge, concealed weapons.
Not all cops are in uniform at all times.
Lots of them. And NONE of them carried their gun loose in their pocket. Ankle holsters were the most popular; some used shoulder holsters, one guy stuck it in the back of his waistband. Pockets sound more like a gang-banger than a cop. Wonder if he had his sights on the side rather than the top of the gun.
