This torch was standard issue to all R.U.C. Officers involved in vehicle check points (V.C.P.’S). The red lens cover was designed to give motorists warning of the check point ahead. Moving the torch in a horizontal circular motion at the front of the body meant slow down or stop. Moving the torch in vertical motion from the outstretched arm to the shoulder gave the indication to move on with caution.
