Best way to use a baton is grab it short end out, use the handle as a stop in the webbing between your thumb and index finger then use it to poke and crack ribs, don’t ask me how I know. Under the belt line is also good and if they turn, the kidneys are a sure fire way to take the starch out of them. An elbow strike with the baton is also nasty. I imagine the most effective technique’s with the baton would probably get you fired and are probably banned by the departments now. Most departments don’t even carry baton anymore, they rely far to much on the taser which only works I would say 40-50% of the time and far less in winter, when that fails you only have one more option most times.
When I was in the academy we had this gritty instructor who was a marine forever, he was around 65 years old. I was 21 at the time. But we were doing baton training - this was 45 years ago so it was actually nightstick training. But one of the guys had the leather tether tied around his wrist and the instructor, no shit his name was Doc Pain because he was a field doctor and was a sniper, but he engaged that dude and twisted the baton away from him and broke his wrist in the process.
Tasers were after my time as a cop, but one of my son in laws is a cop and he told me a story a few years ago about how his partner tased this guy on christmas day and the taser just didn't work because of the cold. The guy pulled the barbs out and started grappling with his partner and my son in law popped him in the noggin with a 2X4 that was laying on the ground and knocked him out. He got written up for not using the right tool or something like that.

Baton SHOULD always be kept attached to the body at all times and arms not extended...these cops looked like the cops on Benny Hill Show...
NOTE: the cops weren't using the area under the breast bone...hurts like a son-of-a-bitch when hit there...
11823...good analysis...brought back a lot of memories...🤣😁🤣🤣🤣🤣😁😁
And even a semi-hard tap to the collarbone will make a man cry like a baby.
The best one I like if I couldn't get the collar bone....THE ELBOW BONE!!!!!...Talk about some Howling....WOWZA!!!!!!!!
