Description

Choosing the R.C.B. by Peacekeeper Before considering any other Less Lethal option for use within an agency, we must keep one thing in mind: The baton was originally considered and used because: “Its ability to contain a suspect Rapidly as an intermediate use of force option”. With this in mind, we must look at the evolution of batons. Evolution of Batons In the 50's & 60's law enforcement used the straight wood baton. It was very Effective, however, it was not convenient because it banged on an officers leg on patrol or in the middle of a foot pursuit, or got left on a car seat because of its bulkiness. The side-handle baton of the 70's & 80's required too much training to be effective. Agencies gave officers annual training only to find that six months down the road, officer's were walking liability because they couldn't remember the various methods on how to use the side handle baton properly, therefore officers resorted to gross motor skills and used it like a straight stick. It was also too cumbersome to keep on the side of an officer at all times. In the 90's, expandable batons brought convenience to law enforcement. The benefit: The baton was able to stay on the officer at all times without it banging on ones leg or getting left in the car. A good concept. The disadvantage: For the past 12 years law enforcement has SACRIFICED Officer Safety and Effectiveness (the most important reason for carrying a baton to begin with), for Convenience. Though many agencies gravitate toward the convenience of a light weight baton or a button that closes the baton conveniently, the most important reason for carrying a baton has been ignored! Most administrators are not aware how many front line officers have gone back to a wood straight baton from other expendables, until these officers see the capabilities of the R.C.B. Enter the Rapid Containment Baton or R.C.B ! The Rapid Containment Baton (R.C.B.) offers significant benefits over existing batons. 1. Weight at the distal 1/2 (striking area) of the baton instead of the in the handle for Rapid Containment! 2. Durable high quality, 3/4" machined steel that will not bend like other batons! 3. The ability to expand the baton in confined space by pulling on the tip of the baton! 4. A larger end cap to reduce laceration liability or impalement! 5. The ability to collapse your baton easily without continually driving it into the concrete! 6. Has a large patented joint lock design that reduces inadvertent collapsing! 7. The ability to break a vehicle window without the concern of bending your baton! Industry Changing Design The RCB offers more than just one or two features. The RCB is an industry-changing product, which addresses serious issues that agencies are having with other batons. ( see complete “Evolution of Batons” ) Effectiveness The RCB has been designed specifically with the weight in the striking area (distal half) of the baton instead of in the handle. Putting the weight in the periphery of an arc equates to more kinetic energy transfer or “Stopping Power”.
