Improved LED Flashlights for

Law Enforcement

CAA MCK Handgun Conversion Kits

Today's law enforcement agencies can take advantage of the newest technological advances in many ways. Not only can those who fight crime have access to devices that seem to come right out of James Bond spy movies, but they can also use equipment similar to what's used on television's CSI drama series.

Manufacturers of the latest police gear have announced some surprising inventions that are now available but perhaps still a little challenging. However, these devices should be easily accessible within a year, and within a few, they may even be a "standard issue" for many police departments.

Many seasoned police veterans may wonder what could be new regarding flashlights to make their job easier. Well, heavy-duty and tactical flashlights used by police can now do more than shed light on a scene or a perpetrator.

Since LED police flashlights are the tool of choice in many areas, some companies have focused on making them even more dependable and sturdy than they already are. They've been dropping the flashlights from 30 feet to test durability, submerging them to check for their ability to stay waterproof, and timing not only the shining time but the overall lifetime of the batteries. There are now dozens of suppliers of police flashlights that provide specific product specifications, including the wattage, lumens, scope of light, and hazardous condition defense.

As with any product, however, the best thing to do is to determine local and user needs and compare what's available to what the budget may allow. Some tactical or heavy-duty flashlights may cost as little as $40 each, but some can go up to $, 200-not including battery chargers, holsters, clips for attaching to clothes or duty belts, or built-in extras.

The most important aspects of police flashlights would be ease of use and dependability since they must continuously function under high-risk conditions. Specific LED models claim hundreds of hours of light use, convenient on/off buttons, and an almost indefinite life span.

Even though all consistent offer light without dimming, LED flashlights can vary by size and weight. Some officers may prefer the lighter ones, while others may prefer the heavier ones, as they can be used as a weapon. One department may wish to use only the high-intensity white LED light bulbs, while another city's force may want to utilize the advantages of colored LED bulbs for night vision, checking blood trails, or signaling.

Clearly, different police departments, and even different officers within the same city, could face various dangerous situations. These call for specialty police flashlights. Almost every officer would be able to utilize a flashlight that can cut through the smoke and offer adjustable beams of light, but there may not be as frequently a need for the more upgraded features regularly.

There is a model that contains a pepper spray canister, a flashlight that can detect metal (vibrating and flashing red light when encountering metal), one that creates glow-in-the-dark patterns, and even styles that provide beacon or strobe-light effects. To further enhance weaponry, police flashlights now provide laser-aiming devices, gun mounting capabilities, and shotguns hidden within the flashlights' bodies.

A police department considering flashlight replacement should take advantage of the opportunity to upgrade; never before have so many features been available.
