Is it good for a patrolling officer?

Yes - intense light with good battery life about 2 hrs continuous useage. However if you want a personal carry with strobe function you will need to look at their law enforcement models. Only draw back with the law enforcement models is that they are longer and heavier than the P2X

well my grandson (was a gift to him) works as a correction officer in a jailso don't see why it wouldn't be as useful to you. He loves it!

That depends on your requirements. What qualities do you consider important for a flashlight?
1507679
Absolutely perfect. Built sturdy, bright enough light, and has the two settings. Low first and then bright. You can barely press for momentary or click for full time. This light is awesome.

Hell yeah. this thing qualifies as a search spot light. It is extremely bright. Short battery life on 500 lumens but is awesome. I would recommend this with no problem.

It's bright settings are ideal. The high brightness is super bright, plus you can learn a trick by strobing between the high and low beam, a great tool to alert people. It is small, and I would recommend getting the belt clip or sheath for it. It's a great and bright light, I would definitely recommend it.

I'm not a patrolling officer, but I would think that this dual mode flashlight would be perfect for such a person. The low beam would conserve battery life while certainly allowing plenty of light for finding one's way through the dark. During moments of greater need, the high beam can be quickly accessed and will provide a blinding beam of light. Again, being able to limit the use of high beam to moments of real need, you will extend the life of your batteries.

Absolutely , Expectedly you will burn up the battery in high mode under constant use,but used Correctly it's a Great light

Don't know about the police but I do own both the Sage 2 and PM2. I generally prefer to EDC the PM2 but if I'm wanting something a little less "tactical" looking I will often pocket the Sage for an evening. I truly love the utter simplicity of the design....

Honestly, i only turn the one i bought, on when i'm driving long distances or if it is really late at night, it only works when a cop has his radar on. I like that it can detect in front and behind. that's worth the money. Also the other features are just if you're prone to getting pulled over

I see that as a very appropriate use of this particular detector. It could save a life. The only possible problem I can see is if the tractor's ignition system is very noisy, and the detector sees that noise as possible lightning. If so, the detector will tell you it does not like the environment it is being used in, and will ask to be repositioned. But at the bottom line, I would buy one and try it out. I expect you will like it. I know I would never go hiking in lightning season without carrying one of these little detectors.

do the police have their own devices to detect whether drivers are carrying radar detectors on board; if so, is this device able to escape that detection?
1834584
I don't know. That would be a great question for your local police department.

IMO it would be perfect for a duty weapon. Should be great for duty type ammo.

Yes, my cousin is a cop and they look feel and do everything his do. They may be made out if a cheaper metal but it seems to be real

This would make a fine defensive tool. You shouldn't have any problem owning it, but in an overly restrictive state like MA, discretion is the better part of valor.

Although I have not used it to scan police frequencies, the range of this radio does cover the150 and 450 MHz bands that are commonly used. Municipalities are often using other methods rather than FM for communications these days.

I use it on patrol and usually recharge it once a week. I have had the combination of the ultra fire rechargeable batteries as well as the flashlight for over a year and it works great.

The guard is on securely. As long as you're not misusing it, it'll be fine.

I think he would really enjoy it. It is a good sized pedal car and well made. It works best on pavement. My son-in-law is a police officer and the whole family loved it. It might be tight if he has long legs, but I still think he would have fun. Like I said, it's not tiny and it's not cheaply made.

It detects cameras and speed traps (that's the main reason I bought it) but with both you have to keep in mind if it's a laser you usually don't stand a chance to react (or it may not even alert you if the officer is good and doesn't shout the windshield) and some cameras shout you in the back just when you pass them so it's almost no time to react. Hope this helped

I have had extreme good success with this meter, it will locate weapons easily, I would or should not go anywhere without it, expecially in medical or any government institution, courts, jury duty. you must leave it on and glance occasionaly at the meter, it is a must to have some kind of field sensor alarm, for the price it pretty good. For about four hundred dollars one could buy a meter with an alarm and a time stamp and computer interface.

The holster is probably not strong enough for police work if that is what you are asking. It's nylon and measures 2 1/2 " and stretches some.I guess the answer is yes.

These are great knives. I carried one as my duty knife as a police officer for a couple of years. He will probably be very happy to receive one.
