Hi and thanks for looking. Up for auction today is an actual police issue police belt with radio found in the wake of hurricane Katrina. I was down in Kenner, La (about 10 miles from New Orleans) and while helping to restore power I came across several abandoned items in a cardboard box that appear to have belonged to a former police officer or deputy sheriff in New Orleans. It’s my suspicion that these items belonged to one of the cops that left as the city started to fall apart. An important note is these items were not found in a flood zone or an area that had been flooded. In this auction I am including what I found (see picture below): the standard issue police belt, a Motorola Police Radio, a set of handcuffs made by the American Handcuff co, all accessories attached to the belt including the holster for the gun (I’m guessing a .357), two (2) speed loader round holders, a mace holder, handcuff holder, a radio holder, a baton holder and also a dress holster for the same size gun as the one with the belt. This stuff looks really impressive and I can only imagine the stories if these items could talk! To anyone that collects police memorabilia these items are very unique in their own right and should go down as part of history. I accept money order, personal check and paypal. Shipping will be $20. To the winning bidder upon request I will provide proof that I was a member of the Entergy Emergency Response Team in New Orleans, Louisiana. Please let me know if you have questions and good luck!
