Welcome to your one-stop-cop-shop, exclusively for the largest department in America – the Veterans Affairs Police.

Well this is your single-source website to find the vendors and nifty gear you’ve been looking for (as well as those things you didn’t know existed, but now MUST HAVE).
The success and thoroughness of this website will depend on YOU and YOUR COLLEAGUES sending in information to add to the collection. The more info I get, the better this site will be for all of us!

** PREMIER VENDOR: L.A. POLICE GEAR
You might notice a new vendor in the right margin, sitting in the #1 spot for “Other Police Gear”. While I have purchased from many different vendors through the years, none have impressed me near as much as L.A. POLICE GEAR. For starters, they run GREAT closeout specials on our beloved 5.11 Tactical stuff. As of the time of this posting, the 5.11 Tactical pants are on DEEP discounts for closeout. I ordered a few pair with some skepticism, but was pleasantly surprised a few short days later when full-featured 5.11 Tactical Cargo drawers showed up….I’ve searched for a problem in any aspect, but aside from a small order-packing error (described below – NICE recovery, by the way!), met with negative results! L.A. Police Gear also features a slew of Morale Patches (the catchy “Front Toward Enemy” and “Infidel” varieties, just to name a few) and just about any other nifty gear you may be looking for. In all fairness, they are not without error (the order packing/shipping error mentioned above) – they did ship me one pair of pants in the wrong length. I emailed them about it, asking if I would have to pay shipping back, etc…and received a reply within a few hours…with a UPS paid shipment label attached. In short order, they promptly sent out not one pair of the correct size as a replacement, but TWO pairs, along with a sincere apology for the inconvenience. I operate from a strong belief that a well-repaired relationship is far better than one that never had a bump in the road at all. These folks go the extra mile, they have great gear, and they run excellent specials all the time. They have earned my business, and my strong recommendation to all. Give them a shot.

Comments will also be allowed in some areas. This website does not offer an open forum for VA Police stories – there are plenty of those out there, but if you want a PRODUCTIVE and RESOURCEFUL forum, the only choice is www.usvapd.com, the main website offers a wealth of information right out of the box, but the living, breathing forum will allow any VA Police officer (at any level) the benefit of wisdom through communication with many veterans of the VA Police across the nation. I’ve searched high and low, finding no better source. Comments regarding gear and specific specialty items are always welcome here, and there are forum areas on usvapd.com with discussion on gear, specialty items and other links as well. When you pass the URL to VAPolice.NET on to other colleagues, pass the link to USVAPD.COM along as well, because both are powerful resources!

So where’s the cool stuff?
