Police persons out there? Police Self Defense DVD Recommendations?

Question

Hey all,

It's my brother's birthday coming up, and he's a policeman, been on the job only about a year, and for his birthday I would like to buy him a DVD on self defense for his job.

I have been looking around, but have been unable to find many, and they all seem tacky.

Just wondering if there is any one out there who maybe works in a dangerous job like policing, and has found any particular DVD to be useful to them?

I just know that his training, has been a little sketchy.

Thanks for your help,

Cheers

It's a very thoughtful gift idea.  Most PD's have trained their people already and any course that would be helpful at this point would best be with an instructor and real live people who are also trained to his skill level though.  It might be kinda like getting a set of addition flash cards for a math professor.  Consider things that may not be issue that he would use though.  They make special t-shirts, 'under armor-wear' that are more comfortable under vests, a St Micheal's medal, or even puncture resistant gloves.  Even a gift card to the police supply store.  Friend of mine got me a C size mag-lite with my name engraved it.  I am female with a smaller hand.   I can hold onto the C-battery- size a lot more easily then the D- size and all mags look alike so the engraving was a great idea. He is on the job with another agency so he knew what would be good.  Ask his friends at work what he might like or has been looking for.
