The hand held spotlight used by NSW Police in the 1960's and 70's was made by Renrade, a NSW manufacturer back in the day. It doesn't appear in any Renrade catalogue so I assume it was a custom made item for Police.

A spotlight that does appear in their catalogue is this version. I have one of these that I acquired when I was still on the prowl for the correct type.
