Police Head and Neck Protector

Armored Devices Inc. has introduced the small Police Head and Neck Protector(PHNP) ballistic shield. Weighing in at 2 pounds, it is light enough for daily carry.

ASP

Talon Batons

ASP Talon Batons, available in a variety of lengths, materials, and finishes, feature a push-button release that makes them advantageous in riot or crowd control situations. They can be drawn, deployed, closed, and holstered with one hand, and without having to bend down to "combat close" by driving down onto a hard surface. This keeps one hand free to hold a shield or perform other functions, and allows the officer to remain standing and/or moving at all times.
