KESQ.com: Officer Don Dougherty with the Palm Springs Police Department considers himself a "cool cop" and he says he owes it all to a little device. The officer's device is called, rightfully so, the Cool Cop. It's a hose that police officer have connected to an air conditioning vent inside a patrol vehicle.
"It basically forces cool air between your vest and your t-shirt and it hopefully cools off a little bit," says Officer Dougherty. Patrol officers like Dougherty wear several layers of clothing and a bulletproof vest under their uniform. Dougherty says the Cool Cop helps in a big way.
"It traps all the heat and moisture against your skin. It just stays hot all the time and, of course, dark blue uniforms in 112 degree temperatures -- I'm not sure who's idea that was."
Dougherty is one of the first on the force to have a cool cop device.
He says it helps in surviving consecutive days of work. Each device runs about $50, according to Dougherty.

Lifetabs www.tab4life.com was invented by a NJ officer. These things are great! No more need to hold a door open for back up with a door mat. No more yelling on the radio to get buzzed in during a job.
Lifetabs are single use tabs that adhere to the strike plate on a door jam, preventing it from locking. The brightly colored tab not only allows access to backup units but also serves as an indicator as to the location of the officer. Lifetabs are especially useful in apartment complexes where there may be multiple doors of the same color or poorly numbered doors.
