I'm an old detective.
I only wear the duty uniform when working at a ball game or church, etc.
Off-duty, as in street clothes, I don't carry any of the bat-belt stuff. Gun wise, I carry whatever I feel like for the day or season. I have a lot of guns.
Please, please don't let me see you wearing body armor off duty. It should have been explained in the DO academy, but people will recognize you, hate you, try to get you fired, and potentially attempt to harm you if they find out you are a cop (okay DO) off duty. And the street isn't a contained and controlled environment like in the jail, AND major AND, you don't have any field training.
As a cop, I literally would go "on the clock" the instant I take action off duty, and I get all the protection I would have as if I were on duty. A detention officer isn't the same.
Also, right now, stop flashing your DO badge around town. Sooner or later, it'll be a Hell's Angel or a parolee behind the counter that your asking for a police discount.
Blend in. Don't even wear your boots casually around town. I had a stand-up comedian call me out as a cop, front row, after he saw my boots. I yelled back that I was a dog catcher. He said, "#### you, I'm making the jokes tonight". There I was, first date with a tinder girl, and a whole room of drunk cop-hating jerks with prior DUIs seated behind me... Praying none of them wants to prove anything after the show or slash my tires.
Be invisible off duty. Nowadays with all the cop baiters welding video phones, you better be a chameleon.
If you wanted to wear your duty gear to the nightclub, then you should've been a firefighter instead of a detention officer.
