I wrote this list on another form 10 years ago. It was all the crap I had to carry at work.
Here's the junk I carry at work the vast majority of which is unnecessary away from work (Although extra drawers are always a good idea).

Barrier device
Non sterile gloves
Hand cuffs
3 hand cuff keys
Radio
OC Spray
M&P 40/ level 2 retention holster
2 reloads
Gerber Multitool
Buck 110
Fenix UC35 flash light
Fenix E12 flash light
About 9 pens (8 of which will disappear into thin air by the end of my shift)
Clip board
MY phone
THIER phone
30 keys that collectively will open every city owned lock in the city and become a MAJOR PITA should I ever lose them.
Ballistic vest
Go bag:
Most important LUNCH
1 pair each
Socks
Boxers
T-Shirt
MY wallet
MY keys
About 20 more pens and at least 1 extra note book.
Garmin
Rain gear
Gaiter
Beanie hat
Fleece (if I'm not wearing it)
Winter gloves
Phone charger
20 more pens and another note book
Aspirin
Company hand book & policy manual.
I really carried all that crap at work but most of it was in a backpack and unless I was doing roving vehicle patrol stayed in my car all night.
So having to carry all that crap around with me at work made what I carry now, which hasn't changed since the last time I posted, not all that much of a hassle.
If I was doing roving vehicle patrol, always in a company vehicle, the backpack sat on the front seat with the keys to my car attached to it so there's no possible way I could forget it at work.
I've said this before. I say it every time this topic comes up but my EDC is all things I've been caught short by not having and it's things that I decided I wasn't ever going to get caught short on again.
