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..
