No wonder this country is going broke....all those CR123's we have to keep paying for...:)

No that would be because the Federal Police keep on pilfering all the state Police with higher pay packets :sigh:

I actually told her that she should look into a rechargeable set up, but she was content to buy bulk packets of 123's from the internet :thinking:

I think the point of the thread was to be a little more specific and actually name lights and agencies

I totally forgot mentioning... I don't know if this is official or not, but I see Strions being carried by local OR State Troopers and Corrections Officers I've interacted with.

I wasn't that much into lights when dealing with regular PD, but I'll keep my eyes open for'em.

Koehler Brightstar is used by the U.S. Dept. of Homeland Security, I'm the one that has filled over a dozen orders at 200 pieces a go.

FBI uses GoLights on their "scene investigation" trucks (the non-driving lights that mount on the roof, sides and rear of the trucks).

Mag 3D
Mag charger

The Police station I work at has also bought a handfull of small crappy duracell lights that 2 x AA batteries I think. They are meant to be for members to take out when on foot patrols through pubs etc.

This thread may also be of use. All about what lights different LEO's on this forum use and who pays for them: https://www.candlepowerforums.com/threads/148264

Hmm. Well, the lights I posted are purchased by a large law enforcement agency that does a lot of work at night in many different environments.

Our guys carry lots of their own private purchase lights, too. Saw one of our SWAT guys packing a Surefire M-4. I imagine that was private purchase.

Who wants to start the list.....Name the brand and the "group" that adopted it.

Well, didn't think this deserved its own thread, so I'll post it here....

BrightStar 3C Responder model is used by New York City MTA Subway workers. Although the clip is usually not. A big, black, rubberized loop that's attached to the belt is used to hold the light bezel up.

Down here in Broward county,Fla utility workers are issued the cheapest pos plastic 2D lights that money could possibly buy.A few years ago we were issued ROV 2D industrials which were decent hosts for a drop-in.Nowadays even that's considered too good for us.
