| - 911 Police Supply is one of those unique stores that there is rarely ever any real competition. The reason why? The specific market it caters to is very unique, primarily first responders.
Owned and operated by 2 police officers, they are extremely well stocked in uniforms, footwear, tools and the like used by EMS/Fire/Police/Security and so on, complete with restrictions on a good deal of the merchandise (requiring a licence to obtain such as body armor). In addition, they carry a fair amount of items for the general security crowd such as metal detectors and so on, plus a great selection of high end utility knives.
The only real issue about this store is simply that they are quite pricey. Some markups are notably in the 300-500% range as compared to other stores, and I mean bricks and mortar stores, not online. As another Yelper mentioned, there really isn't any competition whatsoever, with MD Charlton in Vancouver being the closest equiviant as Spy City tends to specialize more for security staff and Seal Action Gear more torwards the military crowd.
Still, for gun enthusiasts especially, this is a great place to check and feel the different holsters and accessories for their handguns, and a neat place for themed clothing gifts as well.
