stun baton

Electrified compliance tool

A stun baton is a handheld weapon that delivers an electric shock to incapacitate a person, similar to a stun gun but with an elongated shape like a nightstick or flashlight.

The extended reach allows users to maintain distance from a target.

Stun batons are used by law enforcement and security personnel, and are sold for self-defense: She kept a stun baton in her car.
