A rechargeable Mag-Lite. It will last her whole career, and it's probably the most-used piece of equipment I carry, other than the radio.

I agree with the flashlight idea, however I'd go with something a little smaller like a rechargable Stinger or something on that order.

Both would actually be preferable. I carry a Stinger on my belt, and have the Mag-Lite in the cruiser. I was searching an abandoned nursing home one night for a robbery/rape suspect when my Mag-Lite went dead in the boiler room (pitch black). I was mighty happy to have the Stinger as a backup.

I already had bought a flashlight while going through the academy. For building searches and that portion of the academy. I would bet your friend already has one. You may want to check.

I think a good pair of sunglasses would be a nice gift. Like Oakleys.

I have a very close "friend" of mine that is graduating the academy in December. I'm trying to come up with a special gift to get her, but thus far I just haven't found anything, or come up with any great ideas. Anybody have a suggestion?

Thanks!

Check with her to fond out what gear has been issued.

In my case, I received almost everything I needed from the department. SOme items I've purchased or received as gifts: nice pen set fot my uniforms, gloves, UA shirts (they are a must, especially in humid hot areas), lagre stainless steel coffee mug!

How much money $$ do you want to spend?

What about a personalized type gift?

http://www.personalcreations.com/ I bought a desk name thing for my wife who is a paralegal. She seemed to like it a lot.

Or maybe some type of collectable http://www.chiefsupply.com/gifts_police_collect.phtml

My husband gave me a Saint Michael charm medal on a gold chain. On the back he had a message engraved. I wear it tucked under my shirt.
My parents gave me a guardian angel pin that I wear under the flap of my uniform shirt.
These were very special gifts to me.
I think she would really like either of them

There is a lot of police Novelty - funny Knick-knacks that you could get her. T-shirt, fuzzy handcuffs (I dont know what type of "freind" this is )

One pretty cool thing that my parents gave me was a nicely framed police officers prayer... I hung it right above my uniform stand. Every night when I put on my uniform before work the saying is right in front of me...

It reads....

Lord, I ask for courage- courage to face and conquer my own fears...
Courage to take me where others will not go....
I ask for strength- strength of body to protect others and strength of spirit to lead others...
I ask for dedication- dedication to my job, to do it well, dedication to my community, to keep it safe...
And please lord, through it all, be at my side...

I like the motor cop with the angel behind him.

I've never heard that before. I like it.

Gift Idea

One of the best gifts I ever got was a birthday gift from my dad... he sent me a stinger executive series mini flashlight. He said he totally thought of me when he sent it because it actually said on the packaging "scalloped edge for pain compliance". I guess it was because it was something thoughtful that my dad knew I would like...not to mention it comes in handy at work. The rookies all carry the little lights now anyway and "el-kabong" (my rechargable mag-lite) stays in the car a lot more now I have a light to hook to my belt.

Or a Saint Jude medal, the patron saint of lost causes and cops.

Have you ever wondered how they got those two items together?

hand cuff's

handcuff's just like in a sci fi movie seem to grow leggs

and walk away on their own.....lost or mis placed or pilfered...
