Police baton

The police baton is a 50 cm black prop baton, with a ribbed handle and a round knob at the end. It is designed to complete a police costume or an arrest team outfit, so that you are immediately recognized as a police officer during carnival or at a theme party. From the handle, the stick widens towards a rounded top, exactly the shape you expect from a police baton.

How long is the police baton and what is it made of?

• The baton is 50 cm long, measured from the knob at the bottom to the rounded top.
• It is made of 100% polyethylene.
• The baton is completely black, without any print or logo.
• The handle has deep ribs and is finished at the bottom with a round knob.
• Above the handle is a thickened ring, after which the stick gradually widens towards the top.
• You receive one loose baton, without a costume or other parts.

The baton as the police officer's identifying feature

A baton or police stick, also known as a rubber baton in popular speech, is one of the most recognizable parts of the image of a police officer. In films, series, and comics, the officer often has it with them, and that is why it works so well as a costume accessory: people recognize your role by the stick in your hand, even before they read your cap or vest. If you doubt whether clothes alone are enough, a police baton gives you something to hold and a posture to adopt, while a print only stands out from close up. It remains a party item and not a real police tool, so you take it with you as part of your costume.

Complete your police officer look around the baton

A police look becomes recognizable by a few fixed parts: a dark uniform or vest, a cap with lettering, and the baton in your hand. With a black vest, the black baton blends in seamlessly, so the whole thing remains tight and single-colored. Handcuffs, sunglasses, and black trousers complete the role, and for an arrest team you choose a tactical vest with many pockets. Hold the prop baton by the ribbed handle, with the round knob under your pinky, then it looks like a real police baton.
