What device is this?

This was a picture tweeted by Secret Service from the RNC in Cleveland. Does anyone know what the device on the front center of her vest is? I see her VHF radio but have no clue what the other device is.

Looks like the e-collar remote for her K-9 partner.

Yeah definitely looks like a collar remote

Ok thanks. I've never seen that before. None of the local K-9 units around here have anything like that.

That's kind of a sad picture. She has that black band across her badge.

Shocking K9!

About what. I doubt that the dog is mourning.

It's the Pofung X1A prototype, and is due to be released in late October.

silly me

About what. I doubt that the dog is mourning.

silly me thinking i would be flamed on other angles, any other angle, than that one. "transmitter"... yeah well if i had the matching "receiver" around my neck... or is it a throat mic?

my next question though, is nearly rhetorical... does she have a drop leg iphone holster?

all i keep thinking of is that guy at the john kerry speech years ago.

"don't text me bro!!!"

or was that tase me bro? eh whatever that dog is sticking his tongue out in a most unflattering way

Photo reminds me of Sam Houston. Tracking dog.

And I would think a black band for the K9's badge would be OK.
