If you’re like me, you might put your patrol bag in the front passenger seat with the strap over the head rest and the top flap secured behind the strap. I do this so I can access stuff in my bag quickly. And if you are like me, you keep lots of extra goodies in there just in case, like knives, handcuffs, ammo, and pens.
Be aware that if you have an open divider window at any time, then your subject in the backseat has quick access to the things in that bag and could make your next ride to jail a little uncomfortable should they get to the stuff.
