How Security Agencies Choose the Right Expandable Baton: A Complete Buyer’s Guide

? Expandable Batons in Modern Law Enforcement

Expandable batons have become essential equipment for police officers, security teams, and tactical units worldwide. Their compact size, fast deployment, and strong deterrent capability make them suitable for patrol duty, emergency response, and crowd control.

For procurement officers and professional buyers, choosing the right baton is important for safety, performance, and long-term durability.

? Three Main Types of Expandable Batons

KELIN manufactures all major categories used globally:

1. Friction-Lock (Traditional) Expandable Batons

• Simple structure, cost-effective

• Strong locking through pressure and speed

• Suitable for large-scale procurement

2. Mechanical Expandable Batons

• Smooth opening and closing

• More stable locking mechanism

• Preferred for tactical and professional units

3. Automatic (Spring-Assisted) Expandable Batons

• Fast one-hand deployment

• Ideal for close-quarter security

• Used by high-speed response teams and personal protection units

? What Procurement Teams Should Look For

1. Material Strength

Choose materials based on intended use:

• Steel → Maximum durability

• Aluminum alloy → Light and strong

• ABS handles → Comfort and non-slip grip

2. Length & Deployment

Common lengths: 16", 21", 26"
Longer batons = more reach
Shorter batons = easier to carry
