A flash light or torch is a very important piece
of equipment not only to aid clear vision but
also as a weapon. The light can be used to dazzle
the attacker giving enough time for a trained
guard to raise alarm or to subdue the attacker.
No special training is needed for using a flash
light. The flashlight should be waterproof,
durable, solid and produce bright light.

observe and report. Though carrying note pad and
