This is for a Neighbourhood Watch patrol car - I'm aware of similar programs around the world however I don't believe these are common (actual marked patrol cars w/emergency lights) outside New Zealand and Australia.
In short, we have our own patrol vehicle (late model SUV) which is were the flashlights are kept. Two patrollers go out during the day or night on most days of the year. We work with Police in order to prevent crime and patrol certain areas so that the Police don't have to, which frees up their time. We don't have the power to arrest however Police can asks us assist them in an arrest - this is not unprecedented however very rare.
The whole operation is 100% volunteer run and funded.
Currently we have an incandescent Maglite (ex Police hand-me-down) and a Led Lenser, not sure the model but it's a similar size to the 3D Maglite.
I've been assigned to suggest a suitable replacement of these two and I really want to get this right - hence why I'm here.
Ideally, it would be great to have a flashlight which can be charged via the USB port in the patrol car as an option. It doesn't necessarily have to be of the same size of the 3D Maglite. It would need to be at least rainproof.
Open to all suggestions. Thanks in advance.
