After a stateside deployment in 2003, he volunteered to deploy to Iraq in 2005. Brian separated from the military in 2007 and became a police officer in southern California in 2009.

Tools for Law Enforcement
In order to maintain public safety and protect people and property, every police department has its own rules and regulations regarding standard issued gear. While some departments get a full set of gear issued, others may only be able to provide the bare minimum to their officers.
Officers of the law experience various scenarios where they are faced with challenges: in classrooms with students in emergency situations like an active shooter, in natural events that cause trapped victims, responding to 911 calls at residential locations, vehicle accidents, etc. This kind of work can be physically demanding, stressful, and dangerous.
That’s why Stone Gryphon Tactical developed a rescue multi-tool to enable first responders to save more lives: the CTAX – Carrington’s Tactical Access Axe.

Tanto-Style Axe Blade
Strong Enough To Get The Job Done.
Tanto blades were originally designed to pierce armor with high, exceptionally strong points. We used that inspiration to create an axe blade that is optimized for piercing power. Pierce/chop/cut aluminum, metals, plastic, safety glass, wood, trees, car hoods, and sheet metal to rescue yourself or others.
Hammer
Break Through Or Fix What Stands In Your Way.
Having a lightweight hammer on your belt is never a bad thing. Remove padlocks or residential door handles to quickly gain access. Perform field-expedient repairs with nails, brads, and other fasteners.
Gas Valve Wrench
Don’t Let Busted Utilities Catch You Unprepared.
Turn ON/OFF residential gas & water valves in both ½ and ¾ sizes when utilities are down but still have power.

At 18 inches in total length, the CTAX is convenient to carry on your belt while still providing powerful leverage. Free yourself or someone else by lifting heavy items or prying open doors, windows, trunks, and more.
