LAW ENFORCEMENT SIGNS;
I started making law enforcement signs, after I pinned on my first badge. I made a sign for my Dad Jack Rhea for his retirement celebration. It is the California Fish and Game warden sign, I then made copy of the badge I carried as a Stanislaus Co Sheriffs' Deputy . Later a sign for my Dads' best friend upon his retirement. Then one for our Chief of Police Gerald McKinsey upon his retirement . The one for a favorite Deputy Chief "Bo" . I created an Modesto Police Dept. Equestrian sign , and it went to one of my riding partners Garth, A man to ride the river with!. Later a sign for a beat partner Todd, That sign has some initials on the Modesto sign, TMST An inside joke between beat partners working the airport district in Modesto Want to know what it means? find Todd and ask him.
I made the Oregon State Parks sign for a job interview as a potential Park Ranger. I got offered the job but then discovered it was not a guarantee that it would become full time position. I left the sign with the head ranger at the Beverly Beach State Park. I bet it is still there.
I've added a few pictures of night sticks I have made for myself and other officers. I use only true iron woods and I favor Coco-Bola for sticks it"s very heavy and holds up really well. the long one is a mounted horse boken it is actually laminated, iron wood between two slabs of african wenge i don't think you could break this boken unless you purposefully tried to just break it. They are cheap by any means but i do guarantee them. Coco-Bola is so expensive the last slab I bought cost over $320. and I walked out with it under my arm it was only 37' long. a coco-bola stick starts at $300 with not as much embellishment as that one has, that by the way is mine..
