To aid the work at night, most police offices carry flashlights to find their way around. These flashlights have to be of the highest quality to avoid breakdowns at a time when they are needed most. Also, the flashlights require a rechargeable battery or if possible use an easily accessible source of power to ensure they are never left in the dark.
