The 24" PRosecutor batton,as christened by Lon Anderssen,is a police weapon for self-defence & crowd-control.It is a modification of the Okinawan "Kobudo" weapon :TONFA.
It can be made from syntetic polycabonate resin or wood. The former being prefered to the latter for environmental conservation reasons and minimum force law: that wood's degree of freedom would not allow.
