Not at all. It often comes down to preference, but some agencies require that a certain type of pants be worn. Often times these are just standard slacks with 2 side pockets and 2 back pockets. Some people prefer to have a couple extra.
I second the 5.11 Tactical route and that's what I am going with... if you just google search the boots ( I like the XPRT 8" boots ), multiple options for websites to order from will come up.
I have had great luck with LAPoliceGear and TheFireStore seems to have a lot of equipment, clothing, and supplies as well.
We use a new guy ( I used to be the new guy and carried everything under the sun on my belt. Then I remembered we have all that stuff in the trauma bag.)
