Technique and Use of the Police Baton


Book Description

Published by the F.B.I. in 1967 this booklet covers the use of the traditional police baton. The purpose of this booklet is to present material on the technique and use of the baton which meets the needs of the police officer and yet is consistent with the ethical standards of modern law enforcement.The police baton, in the hands of an officer who has been trained in its use, is a very formidable weapon for defense and counterattack. Many law enforcement officers share the opinion that the baton, under most circumstances, is a more versatile weapon than the officer's revolver. It is recognized that there are a great many situations in which a police officer would be justified in using the baton, whereas he would not be justified in using his revolver.
