Hello Guys, My GF's brother is graduating from the State Police Accademy in a month and I am just wondering what is a good gift to get for him. I am very close with him and would like to get him something that is both nice and possibly something he can use. So far I was thinking about getting him a benchmade knife. Any other suggestions? Thank Alot |

If he has all the practical things taken care of, back up gun, second flashlight (small preferably), and gear bag etc, then I would consider something nice to have. The best graduation presents I got were a St. Michael's medal and a challenge coin with my Agency's logo on it. My wife got me the medal and a friend in my agency got me the challenge coin. I don't know where he got it from but it's really cool. And if I ever get the chance to go out for a few drinks with my squad mates, I will put it to use. |

Cheap Benchmade 40 Cheap surefire G2 flashlight 35 extra pair of Hiatt hinged cuffs 30 Oakley SI boots 150 Glock 26 or 27 400 and some change from a LE distributer Off duty holster 20 to 100 dollars depending on uncle mikes - Kramer horsehide Any combination of the above!! |
| My department doesn't issue shoulder mikes for our radios. We buy our own. They cost about $90, and not only do they get used many times a day, I think they increase officer safety. You'll have to be sure what radio his department uses. They also may issue them. |
| The gear bag I think is a great idea, as well as countless others in here. If you want to stay under $200, then I would definitely consider the gear bag, flashlights, handcuffs or any of those items. The st michaels medals are always nice as well. My gift was a duty belt, and that was because the dept I was on at the time didn't have a gear allowance. |
