Nitrile Gloves for Law Enforcement
Choosing nitrile gloves for patrol
Nitrile is the standard for law enforcement because it contains no natural rubber latex, which removes the allergy risk to both the officer and anyone they treat. It also resists punctures and chemicals better than latex, which matters when handling evidence or an unknown substance.
Black, blue or tan
Black nitrile is the usual choice for patrol and private security because it looks clean on duty and hides dirt and oils. Blue and tan are the common choice where a glove needs to be visibly identifiable as medical.
How many to carry
Many agencies require officers to carry gloves on the person at all times. Single pairs are individually wrapped so they fit a vest pouch or a pocket, and 25-packs are the usual choice for a patrol vehicle or a station supply.
Gloves in a trauma kit
Nitrile gloves are also included in the IPOK and IAK kits on our IFAK and trauma kits page, and tourniquets, gauze and dressings are in tactical medical gear.
