message: Is there a reason why this article refers to pepper spray, Tasers, and batons as "tools" instead of weapons?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.186.36.20 (talk) 08:06, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

thumb|Rapid rotation baton
Rapid rotation batons focus on handle characteristics that permit rapid and fluid grip changes as well as incorporating an additional hand protector and "rotator" to a normal tonfa in the form of a "cross-guard". It is purportedly effective as an extreme close quarter baton against grips, grabs, body holds and ground defense. It has recently been picked up by the Federal Bureau of Prisons for maximum custody use.
Roy Bedard, a Tallahassee Police officer, designed the RRB in 1995 due to his belief in that the current baton being offered was ineffective. The telescopic baton, usually known as the ASP baton, had a tendancy to collapse upon impact, and did not provide the user with a defensive position. The RRB is used by many different agencies, primarily for agencies who use community policing, due to the RRB's non-threatening carry position.
why was this section removed? i looked up info on the RRB and the talk page was the first result. I think it deserves to be on the page. Is it deemed low quality?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Warmallis0n (talk • contribs) 04:35, 3 March 2020 (UTC)

message: ===Cuffing baton===
A cuffing baton marries a baton design and an integrated handcuff.  The baton itself is reminiscent of the steering wheel locking device commonly known as "the Club" - it has a long straight section and a "y-shaped" yoke at the other end.  The yoke includes a triggered handcuff that can be remotely unlocked.
Notability issues here: no independent (non-press release) verification of Cuffing Baton's popularity, use, or innovative nature.

message: The article seems to suggest that the baton originated in Victorian England as the "billy club". Examples of these truncheons with a royal warrant painted on them come up frequently at auction from Georgian times. 
Its origin as a badge of office is the "tipstaff" and these are mentioned as early as 1555. See Tipstaff
The tipstaff is represented on the badge of Assistant Chief Constables (Commanders, in the Met.) :File:Rank_insignia_of_police_ACC_or_commander.jpg
