ABSTRACT:
A law enforcement baton for enhanced suspect control and apprehension comprises detachable, coextensive, proximal and distal lengths with a handle portion removably perpendicularly attached thereto with the handle portion and distal length being of identical construction and interchangeable upon the baton. The distal length includes a central bore with a plurality of reduced diameter bore holes extending parallel thereto in annularly spaced relation thereabout. A net having a plurality of elastic lines with retaining elements attached thereto is removably positioned within the central bore and the plurality of bore holes, respectively. The proximal length includes an opening wherein a compressed air canister is removably inserted with the sealed end thereof being in fluid communication with the bore openings in the distal length when the proximal and distal lengths are attached together. A sharp member located internally of the distal length is movable via a solenoid to break the seal of the canister upon pressing a button located on the outwardly facing surface of the distal length. When the seal is broken, compressed air creates a force against the net and flexible lines in the distal length thereby projecting the net and lines therefrom a distance sufficient to entrap an unwary criminal suspect. The net is directed at and impacts the upper torso region of the suspect with the elastic lines wrapping therearound with the retaining elements engaging the net thereby enveloping the suspect's arms to facilitate subsequent apprehension of the suspect.
