Virginia LE Chooses Serpa

The City of Norfolk, Virginia, Police Department has decided to equip its uniformed officers with BlackHawk’s latest Serpa duty holster for their newly issued Taser X-26. The department is giving the officers the option of duty-belt or leg-platform carry. BlackHawk’s modular design allows any Serpa holster to be carried on a variety of mounting options.

The Level 2 Serpa X-26 holster is designed to be worn on a duty belt, but also works with any of the Serpa carry platforms for leg, MOLLE vest or shoulder harness. The design features a distinctly different draw than the regular Serpa duty holsters to help differentiate between the Taser and an officer’s handgun in a stressful situation.

In related news, the Virginia Beach Police Department has decided to go to the Serpa holster system for the entire agency. Transition to the new holster will take place during the annual firearms training cycle.
