Zusammenfassung:	An apparatus, method and communication system are provided for acoustically detecting the deployment of equipment. The equipment may comprise portable objects (104), such as a gun, taser or baton, used by law enforcement. The apparatus comprises plurality of acoustical ridges (108) integrated within a body worn accessory (102). A predetermined sound pattern (130, 140) is generated from the acoustical ridges in response to sliding the portable object across the plurality of acoustical ridges integrated within a body worn accessory. Information pertaining to the portable object, such as dynamic information pertaining to the removal and insertion of the portable object to and from the body worn accessory (102) is determined. A communication system (300) including a portable communication device (112) can store the information and/or transmit alert signals to a base station (302) for tracking deployment of the portable object.
