Often undervalued by desk jockeys counting beans at the department HQ, a good pair of gloves can be a street cop’s best friend. Quality gloves can protect law enforcement patrol and SWAT officers from abrasions, cuts, needle sticks, and bites. What makes a pair of tactical gloves worthy of being named on our list of best tactical gloves is that they not only have to act as a form of body armor but also as a partner on the job.
