It is called a utility belt

Sgt Tony Smith and PC Mike Holman successfully apprehended a drugs suspect thanks in part to their ingenious Batman and Robin disguises. I note the senior officer got to be Batman.

Sgt Smith added: "Last year police officers dressed up as carol singers, which worked well. This was my first costumed acting experience.

"The Batman costume was quite comfortable and not too restricting. I still managed to jump over the fence. But it was difficult finding somewhere to put my CS spray. There was nowhere for the handcuffs, but then Batman does not need handcuffs."

Maybe next year, they'll evolve to playing respective Village People roles.

I just love writing and saying "bat belt." It was a specific belt, however, as I recall. Made in the lab at Castle Wayne or whatever it was called. One moment it would dispense gunfire, the next Pez.
