Great Gifts For Anyone Into Law Enforcement
Castle, Law & Order, Psych, Lie to Me, Cops, America's Most Wanted; all these are current shows related to the work of solving crimes.
For those enthusiasts who can't get enough or for the brave men and women whose profession is keeping others safe, here are some unique and fun gift ideas.
One of my favorite, inexpensive gift ideas is a Counterfeit Detector Pen.
This amazing little pen is typically used at banks and many retail locations.
The way it works is surprisingly simple.
According to HowStuffWorks.
com, "The counterfeit detector pen solves the biggest counterfeiting threat today.
It used to be that a counterfeiting operation used expensive presses and special inks and papers to create exact duplicates of the bills.
Today...
people with color copiers and color printers try to create passable facsimiles of a bill...
These folks are not particularly careful or meticulous, so they copy or print onto normal, wood-based paper.
The counterfeit detector pen is extremely simple.
It contains an iodine solution that reacts with the starch in wood-based paper to create a black stain.
When the solution is applied to the fiber-based paper used in real bills, no discoloration occurs.
The pen does nothing but detect bills printed on normal copier paper instead of the fine papers used by the U.
S.
Treasury.
" Self defense is a category that holds loads of idea for gifts.
How about for example, pepper spray or mace to go on your recipient's keychain? Or even better, a flashlight stun gun? Items like these may seem like superfluous, even gag gifts, but you never know when they might come in handy.
For example, just a few days ago there were a series of dog attacks at the Golden Gate Bridge Park in San Francisco.
Several women who ran through the park were attacked by multiple dogs.
This type of event makes stun guns much more attractive.
Adam Katz, author of "Secrets of a Professional Dog Trainer" also recommends stun guns to deter dog attacks.
"If you see a stray or unleashed dog approaching you, press the button [on a stun gun] a couple of times.
We've found that the electrical charge hits ultra high frequency sound waves that only the dog can hear.
About 50% of the dogs would IMMEDIATELY turn tail and run away.
" He also says if you are in imminent danger or if the dog has bitten another animal or person you can stun him.
Surveillance equipment is another category full of gift ideas.
For example, you can find spy pens with up to four hours of video recording time.
Thumb Camera, Car Alarm Remote Keychain DVR Camera, Hat Camera, Glasses Camera; almost anything and everything you can think of can be used to spy on others these days.
Fun, technical, useful gifts such as these are perfect for those who enjoy puzzles and solving crimes.
