A security baton, also known as a night stick, is a handheld duty tool commonly carried by trained security personnel and law enforcement for patrol, signaling, and defensive purposes in accordance with applicable laws and organizational policies.
Security batons are manufactured from durable materials such as hardened steel, aluminum alloy, or high-strength polymer. They are available in fixed-length, expandable (telescopic), and side-handle (Tonfa-style) designs. Many models feature ergonomic, non-slip grips and are supplied with a belt holster for convenient carrying. Security batons are intended for use by trained personnel in security, law enforcement, and public safety roles, subject to local regulations and agency procedures.
