Seriously though, rtic/yeti tumblers or small lunchboxes/coolers are always good as most anyone can use them.
Hi,
Squirrels only go to CO's because they both are always looking at nuts, lolol...
Detectives get bombarded with flying pigs, hahahaha.....(Joke in case any of the emotionally election charged people don't get it).
Detective, mid 40s...in today's time......get him a personalized RTIC or pen with his name, department and back the blue..BUT also send his wife a thank you card for putting up with all the shit she has to put up with and sacrifice for him to be clear minded and wrapped tight in order to do his job.
Sincerely,
Theis

He’s a cop in this country so get something for his family they have a better chance of getting to use it.
or a tank.

Nice option but buy it at Sam' Club. A full quart for $20 or so and its excellent quality.

a hug . its not going to be a safe job under biden not that it ever was a safe job . And maybe a really good life insurance policy to cover there children for life should the unthinkable happen to them , at least they would know there spouse or children would be taken care of really well . Piece of mind has its own rewards ..but for a few dollars out of your pocket you could buy them a lot of insurance and as macob as it sounds as a gift it really is a sick time to be putting your self out there with out some assurances that should something happen to you your family will be taken care of and the states do little to nothing for cops or there families but a million dollar life insurance policy paid for by you for them if 40.00 ro 60.00 per month if that if i'ts not a burden on you and in 30 or so years if a term insurance maybe they could sell that policy and get a bit of something for them self . instead of a macob gift it becomes the gift that buys them something they want or need definatly a better gift than a bottle of wine or cheese that once you eat it its gone just a though .

A stack of Benjamin Franklins and he can get what he wants or needs, they don’t get paid enough for what they do every day.
Order a new aimpoint from larue (that's right I said it) and send the pocket constitution to the buddy! :-D
I was going to suggest a quality work knife. One of my favorite ones is a Benchmade Emerson CQC - 7. I had an older one with ats-34 blade that was single bevel. Hands down the toughest knife I ever had and can get scary Sharp
A knife is a great idea. Maybe a few gift cards/prepaid Visa/local eatery. A Thank You Card with cash.
Don’t make comments like this again. Only warning.
That’s actually a really good idea. Any kind of dagger would be a good idea. IMO anyone carrying a weapon in a duty holster needs a dagger.
If I had to pick between the two, this one.
I personally prefer on with a finger ring. So, I can use the dagger to create distance to draw weapon. With the finger loop, I can establish a proper two hand grip without dropping the knife.
Those are really good looking daggers.
Great looking daggers. Generally speaking large fixed blades are sometimes frowned on by departments. The small push dagger could be okay as a small defensive weapon but I know some departments in my area wouldn't allow it. Kabar TDI knives are an option but you'd hate to spend the money only to have it not be allowed. Folders are usually acceptable.
I love that Damascus pattern! The pins are nice too.
As for a gift, @Where's Bruce? you know him better than anyone here so go with your gut. I wish I had friends who gave like the suggestions here!!!!!
I actually stopped carrying my KaBar TDI after a wrestling match where the bad guy nearly got his hands on it. I kept it tucked behind my spare mags, and he came away holding one of my magazines (if only briefly).
The problem with most push daggers/TDI style knives is they don’t come with anything more than a kydex/plastic passive retention sheath. I won’t carry a fixed blade ever again. Since that night, I carry my TASER in an off-hand draw configuration for contact distance deployment (anticipating use under similar circumstances to a push dagger like a gun-grab...to be used in a manner considered a lethal option by my dept. policy, case law, and TASERs own usage directives).
While you're absolutely right, Brother, it's "my" experience for "my" AO that most departments allow you to carry as you wish. And sometimes to their possible detriment. I was doing Court Security recently for a Trial. There was a female Stater in there, it was her case/arrest. Got to BS'ing her at one of the breaks. I noticed she had a stabby tucked at her waist. She was carrying it like a pancake holster just left of center. Null Bueno. I don't know of a "Department", other than State Patrol apparently now, that would let someone carry like that. I mean bloody hell, you're gonna stand right there in front of someone and offer them the handle to your knife? That's crazy IMHO.
Having said that, a spike or some other useful blade, carried out of sight, is a great idea. And even if a department doesn't allow it's carry, nothing saying it won't be useful and appreciated off duty. Just my humble 2 centavos.
Ya, everywhere and everyone is different. Our policy doesn’t allow for support side draw of taser (don’t ask).
I typically use ring daggers as they aren’t telegraphed like the kabar (everyone knows the kabar is a knife). I’ve even had someone ask if the one I’ve been carrying recently was a shovel (no fucking clue).
I keep mine basically jammed up against my left side and it’s behind radio and cross mounted taser. So it’s rare that anyone even notices it at all.
Same. I’d rather deal with a policy violation (nothing they can do legally) and still be upright.
If I have to use it, they can decide if they want to fire me and deal with the inevitable fallout of firing an agent who used a tool to save his or someone else’s life.
Not knocking your choice of equipment. Just throwing out things for others to consider.
Fully understand, AND agree. The new carriers we're wearing allow the opportunity to carry outside vs inside, unlike the old ones of days past where you were pretty much limited to inside, which is obviously next to useless. With the option of multiple concealed, semi concealed pockets and crevices to carry now there's no reason for it to be out of grasp without reaching for a zipper. I just can't imagine someone choosing to carry like she was because as we know, most of the people with bad intentions are betting individuals. I can't understand stacking the odds in their favor basically handing them the handle.
I like the ring knife idea. A TDI is okay but I totally agree with the kydex holster issue. That's pretty much quit carrying mine. A couple departments shut down the fixed blades after a few guys were carrying monster knives.
But I definitely go with the "better to ask forgiveness than permission" too. And lets face it, if we have to go with edged weapons of any type, things are already at "shitshow" levels.
Be safe to all working the streets!
