Abstract: One example describes a holder (also known as a holster or accessory) that is to be used by uniformed professional field personnel (e.g., law enforcement, fire, parks departments, search and rescue, private security, utilities personnel, military, etc.), collectively described below as “Officer”. This also introduces new features that allow for improved access and improved Officer safety. This also deals with the holders and how to build or set them up, so that it is safe and convenient, as well as protected and easy to access for the officer, but not easy to access for a third party. Some of the variations and structures that we show here are, e.g., the spring loaded flaps, the cutouts on the sides, the magnet, and the recessed snap.
