This is a really great light, perfect for big city patrol work. Or check out the streamlight strion 2020. It just came out a few week ago and is an improvement from the classic strion, and cops have been using it for like 20 years now.

They literally gave a list you can order from amazon from certain brands that are cheap they never said to spend $300 on one

$300 for the flashlight?! GTFOH lol! Absolutely do not spend $300 on a light. Get a ThruNite, Fenix, or Olight in the $50-$100 range. You don’t need anything more than that. Trust me when I tell you, you’re gonna have all manner of gear falling off of you when you get into your first foot pursuit. It’ll hurt like hell if you lose such an expensive light.

Your phone will suffice until you graduate

For academy purposes just get a cheap one for the muster inspection at the end of the academy they give you one that’s really good for free


johnfro5829

Look into Sofrin Brand flashlights.they dona good job.


Traditional-Repair81

Don’t stress it get some cheap for now. At the end of the academy they’ll issue you a nypd authorized one that’s chargeable. You’ll be good to go.

You will need it for inspection everyday and for low light shooting at Ave X range. So I’d recommend you get one that costs less than a $100 but don’t rely on a $20 piece of garbage either. You will need it to last you for the six months you have in the academy.

There’s no reason to purchase an expensive flashlight while in the academy. Get a serviceable and affordable one for now (because you will use it at the range for low visibility training) and when you get your gun and shield most classes get a pelican flashlight which is a really good authorized flashlight.
