Just found out, start in a little over a week. Get sworn in, then academy! :D Going to purchase my supplies tomorrow!
Side note, can anyone recommend a good flashlight for academy/field? Need to buy my own. Surefire?

BTW, a Stinger or any C cell flashlight will carry in your uniform belt pretty nicely in a baton holder, but it may not be the most secure.
Creeker's tip # 22: Even when working dayshift, never go to work without a good flashlight on you.

CONGRADULATIONS!!!
This is what I have been carrying since going on duty. It's great for anything and very durable. Especially after whatever you need it for;):D.
I keep a charger in my POV and the other in my gear locker at work.

You should PARTY this weekend! It's going to be awhile before you get another chance.:p:DLast edited by cobravenom1; 05-23-08 at 07:28 PM.

Congrats ! and a Streamlight Stinger is very reliable. My batts lasted almost 2 years.
And I have used it a lot even on dayshift when inside a building.Creeper Cop
