I have a similar case, and I was choosing a duty belt for my cousin, he has been in the police since 2024. In the end, we settled on the Basket Weave Duty Ratchet from Nexbelt, I found it on the Nexbelt duty belt for police and first responders page. My brother was delighted: the design is durable, the fit is super comfortable, and the buckle allows you to quickly adjust it to your uniform or change of clothes. The braided design is not only beautiful, but also adds rigidity. He said that this is the first belt that you don’t want to take off after a shift. I think that says a lot.
