[Closed] Police-persons - Help wanted!

Pink furry handcuffs...

P.A.C.E?

Is there any particular piece of paraphenalia that all police-persons need and are not issued with

A sense of humour

Expecting the first three replies on this to be from police-persons offering constructive suggestions was astoundingly naive of me, wasn't it?

🙂

good torches ??? decent shoes? waterproof socks?
I am guessing but at least more productively than above.

a big torch for making tail lights defective worked at checkpoints in ireland i suspect it would also double up as some other item 😉 mag lights are the bizz

a traffic wallet

look on websites such as Niton999.co.uk or police-supllies.co.uk

Sorbathane padded shoe inserts for all the beat pounding...or should that be mouse wrist-rest for all the paperwork these days?

The ex-husband of a friend of my wife's used to make little gore-tex pouches for adding to polis belts for storing notepads, etc. Might be something similar online?

what a Charlie Uniform November Tango 😉

You could get a decent torch - the ones we get given are pants. Try the Cyba-Lite Auro, about £10 on ebay.

And a proper handcuff key - look at the HK01 on this [url= http://www.gladstoneboots.com/acatalog/Streamlight_Cuffmate.html ]clicky[/url].

Key-ring holders are really useful too - look at the ZT55 on this [url= http://www.enforce-logic.co.uk/handcuff_keys.htm ]clicky[/url]

And/or one of [url= http://www.copshopuk.com/acatalog/Peli_Versabrite_III_Torch.html ]these[/url] - they are brilliant

Traffic wallet (see link below) and a good led torch. Smaller the better, so avoid a foot long maglite.

All sorts of policey bits here:

Their SWAT footwear is very comfy.

A good LED torch.

What was that thing Sean Connery carried around with him in Untouchables? Patron Saint of lost causes.

If he was a film buff he may appreciate the sentiment

The Shurefire 6P torch was one of the favourites a while back, but it may have been overtaken by some of the LED types now.

blimey there's a lot of closet rozzers on here 🙂 Better be on best behaviour I think!

How about an [url= http://www.amazon.co.uk/Law-Dummies-John-Ventura/dp/0764558307 ]educational book[/url]?

something they don't actually seem to teach coppers these days...

My brother is a learned man with a phd in social anthropology who can also do press-ups on his middle fingers.

Thanks for the ideas folks, much appreciated.

Make sure that as you lob it at him, you inform him that it's for becoming an instrument of state oppression and the ruling imperialist clique.

It is a difficult thing to accept Gus, but I am afraid that fraternal affection overcomes my natural wariness of the agents of my oppression. 😉

Haven't seen many coppers carrying these lately.
Not sure where you'd get it from.......

DrP

Shepherds Bush Market?

Nice Glock, not exactly H&C though 😉
