    Default Graduation present for completing Sheriffs academy

    My brother is graduating from the Ventura County (CA) Sheriffs academy in 2 weeks. Any LEO's or former LEO's or anyone for that matter have some good ideas for a present that he could use? His first 3 years will be spent in the jail systems in CA, as is mandatory of any graduating sheriff. I had one recommendation from a friend who is DPD about puncture proof gloves IE: Mechanix style tactical gloves. Anyone have opinions on those? Thanks for the suggestions!

    I am a Corrections Officer here in CO. Realize that most anything that is not issued is going to be considered contraband. Every rookie needs another set of handcuffs, a Zak Tool handcuff key, a good watch. I'd recommend getting him a G Shock watch if you go that route. Puncture gloves/etc will never be worn because we deal with bio-contaminants 99.9% more than we deal with sharps. Getting semen on your fancy new tac-gloves will make you want to throw them away...

    Pocket edition of the Constitution. Or a 10-pack so you can give copies to all your friends.

    Fits in a 30-round magazine pouch:

    BUG!!!

    Mostly joking. A good cuff key is a good idea. A nice sturdy watch. A nice commemorative pen (cops write a lot). A good light, even if only as a backup, along the lines of Surefire, Fenix, etc.

    Tell your brother to have fun at Todd road or the county jail. I grew up in Ventura 30 years of my life wasted in that hell hole, at least the weather was nice. Another +1 on a nice cuff key or watch.
    Don't be stupid!!!!!
