Abstract
Abstract A police baton having a crosshandle is provided with a short shaft on the free end of the crosshandle. The short shaft extends parallel to the baton to form a hook near one end of the baton that may be used to hook a limb of a person to be brought under control. The short shaft allows the baton to be used in other ways, such as to swing freely in a loosened grip without risk of the crosshandle slipping out of the loosened grip.
