Spacesaver’s specialized SWAT storage solutions can help facilitate quick preparation, keeping the equipment you need in the right location at the right time. Additionally, SWAT gear is among the most expensive at a police department, so you want to make sure it’s protected from damage, loss, or even theft.
Among the recommended storage options are doorless Spacesaver FreeStyle® lockers, as these will allow your SWAT officers to easily see and access equipment without wasting time with keys or combinations. If you are considering this option, you are advised to place the lockers in a locked room to prevent security issues.
Another option for SWAT storage is to use Spacesaver 4-Post shelving to create doorless shelves or ‘locker-style cubbies.’ With different-sized shelves for various items, this setup allows equipment to be categorized by where it is worn on the body for quick access. For instance, helmets can be placed on top shelves, clothing on hanger bars, and boots on lower shelves. As this option also lacks locking capabilities, it is recommended that you place the shelves in a locked room.
If your police department lacks the facilities for a dedicated SWAT equipment room that can be locked, Spacesaver’s FreeStyle® Personal Storage Lockers can be a fitting alternative. Combination or digital keyless locks on lockers can ensure the security of expensive equipment and can be placed alongside a wall in a hallway or other open area to save space.
“Police departments with a tactical squad know that when it’s time to go, it’s time to go,” explains the guide. “We develop and manufacture a variety of innovative storage products designed to help clients better manage their time, space, and security.”
Spacesaver was founded in 1972 and is based in Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin. The company specializes in manufacturing integrated storage systems for various industries, including police departments, museums, and libraries, and distributes its products worldwide.
