NIJ Duty Holster Standard for Law Enforcement

NIJ is seeking comments on two draft documents for duty holsters used by the law enforcement community: NIJ Duty Holster Standard for Law Enforcement and NIJ Duty Holster Certification Program Requirements.

The opportunity to provide comments on these documents is open to industry technical representatives; criminal justice agencies and organizations; research, development and scientific communities; and all other stakeholders and interested parties. These comments will be considered as the documents are further developed.

Please note that all comments received are considered part of the public record and may be made available for public inspection online. Such information includes personal identifying information (such as name and address) voluntarily submitted by the commenter.

If you wish to submit personal identifying information (such as your name, address, etc.) as part of your comment, but do not wish for it to be posted online, you must include the phrase “PERSONAL IDENTIFYING INFORMATION” in the first paragraph of your comment. You also must locate all the personal identifying information you do not wish to be posted online in the first paragraph of your comment and clearly identify what information you would like redacted.

If you wish to submit confidential business information as part of your comment but do not wish for it to be posted online, you must include the phrase “CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS INFORMATION” in the first paragraph of your comment. You also must prominently identify confidential business information to be redacted within the comment. If a comment has so much confidential business information that it cannot be effectively redacted, all or part of that comment may not be posted online.

Personal identifying information and confidential business information identified and located as set forth above will be placed in the agency’s public docket file (which will be made available for public inspection upon request), but not posted online.
