Smiling Jack posted:

The NYPD does not authorize weapon mounted flashlights for anyone except a very very small subset of ESU.

Flashlights must be purchased privately and are hand held.

It'll be a cold day in hell before a NYPD patrol cop gets a weapon mounted flashlight.

The NYPD is extremely resistant to new equipment, typewriters were in wide use until 2012.

Edit: poo poo, until this month the NYPD wouldn't even replace expired bullet resistant vests. You got one. After that you were expected to buy your own.
