Tonfa Police Baton
The tonfa (or police baton) was originally a wooden handle that fit into a hole on the side of a mill stone used to grind rice and other grains, dating back to 15th century Okinawa. The handle, which was easily disengaged from the millstone, became a very effective weapon of defense. The Tonfa's circular movements as a farm implement evolved into its rotating strikes as a weapon. They may be used for blocks, thrusts, and strikes.
In 1906, the ownership of weapons was prohibited on the Okinawan Islands by the Japanese invaders. As a result, an exploration of self-defence techniques and new weapons for self-defense began. By spinning the tonfa around the short handle, tremendous striking force may be generated. By using the long portion in conjunction with the short handle, the tonfa may be used for numerous come-a-longs and arm locks.
Two tonfa were often used simultaneously, and were very efficient against armed assailants. The side of the tonfa was used for ... |

Police Batons
Police batons nowadays are much different from the billy club days of old.
Today, police batons are usually either a tonfa or an expandable steel baton.
Tonfas, or police batons are made from a long piece of wood or fiberglass about 24 inches in length that has a handle attached to it. A police officer can hold onto the handle and use the long shaft as a defensive tool to block an attack. By using the handle on the police baton, an officer can also maneuver and effectively strike with it as well.
Not every law enforcement person uses one of these but they are pretty common in some areas. Most officers use the expandable baton because of its compact size for ease of carrying. Since this police baton is expandable, it can be put into use with just a flick of the wrist.
When extended, the telescopic steel baton expands to either 16, 21, or 26 inches in length giving the officer the desired length he or she needs to effectively defend themselves or to force a ... |

Thieves targeting women who are alone, police say.
After a series of muggings and car-jackings targeting women, police in Jackson, Mississippi, said Friday that women should arm themselves.
"I wouldn't say packing, but I think they need some sort of weapon in order to protect themselves," Officer Colendula Green said. "A lot of friends of mine have tasers or (pepper) spray."
The Jackson Police Department is investigating six cases in the past month of carjacking, armed robbery and auto theft. The two to three thieves, who were either on foot or in a vehicle, are described as black men who are 16 to 20 years old, dressed in dark clothing and hooded shirts. At least one of them was armed during the incidents, police said.
A woman who lives at the Fondren Hills Apartments, where one of the attacks took place, said a friend sent her pepper spray so she could protect herself.
"I sent him the news, and he was worried, but he can't do anything because he's not from here. So he got me (pepper spray) from Amazon," she said.
Jackson police on Thursday issued an urgent warning to women who are alone to be aware of their surroundings when walking to or from their vehicle, along with the following advice:
• If you feel that you are being followed, call 911 immediately and report your location and description. Stay on the phone with the dispatcher in a well-illuminated area until an officer arrives.
• Avoid dark and isolated areas while alone. If possible, travel with others during nighttime hours.
• Report any suspicious activity.
• Avoid distractions, (e.g. cellphones and loud music) while traveling or walking to or away from your vehicle.
• Avoid the display of items that could be attractive to suspects.
"Also, if they have their keys in their hand, if they're approached by a perpetrator, or something like that, they can use their keys as a weapon," Green said.

As many as 50 Phoenix police officers may soon be wearing tiny convert video surveillance cameras as part of their uniform accouterment if a $500,000 grant is approved in early September through a joint partnership with Arizona State University and the U.S. Department of Justice. The grant is being called The Smart Policing Initiative.
Earlier this spring, a pilot program was tested with 18 officers wearing the small hidden spy cameras attached to their uniform in an effort to increase police transparency with the public. The three month trial, which concluded in June, resulted in 860 hours worth of video. From among the recordings, portions of the footage will be used as evidence in 62 cases going before the court.
The spy camera is worn like a Bluetooth device around the ear, and can be turned on and off from a remote control on the chest. A pocket recorder, or small video monitor, is attached to the belt. Once activated, video can't be edited or deleted.
Arizona law requires at least one person be aware they are being recorded, although the law is not well defined in how that is communicated or acknowledged, and can likely not even register depending on the situation or number of persons being confronted by officers. During the trial period some citizens did key in on the cameras being worn and asked if they were being recorded.
During the pilot program, Phoenix police tested Scottsdale-based TASER International's Axon cameras, which are more obvious in their appearance than traditional covert cameras of the same type, and come with a more heftier price tag. The cost of Axon cameras are about $1,700, plus an annual $1,200 each to archive the video footage. Likewise, a comparable wireless Bluetooth covert camera from any local security store runs about $200. The grant doesn't specify which brand of cameras are to be used, but does require the police agency to enlist a research partner. In the case of Phoenix it will be A.S.U., who will collect and analyze the data and calculate the effectiveness of their efforts.
The “Candid-Camera” officer video pilot program was one of 34 recommendations developed by a Phoenix task force last January to help improve relations between the police department and the community. The task force came into being in April, 2010, after several incidents involving the police angered citizens, including a March 2010 incident which saw City Councilman Michael Johnson, an Afro-American, wrestled to the ground and handcuffed by a White police officer.
With the eye of “Big Brother” becoming more prevalent in our daily lives now, and technology providing a video recorder to anyone with a cell phone, providing police officers with a wearable video recording device is the logical next step in the progression. How this plays out over time and the legal impact it could carry will be questions that will no doubt be discussed, but for now it may give us pause to be mindful of what we say and how we respond the next time we are confronted by an officer of the law.

Twitter is abuzz with the news that the sign could be real.
Taylor Swift can take herself pretty seriously sometimes, writing bitter love songs such as "Dear John" or emotional break up songs about one of her many ex-boyfriends.
So it was nice to see that Swift may have a sense of humor about herself in this security sign allegedly posted outside of her Rhode Island mansion. The sign references the lyrics to her hit song "I Knew You Were Trouble."
Hopefully it keeps away creeper intruders from swimming up to her house again.

Chances are, either you or someone you know has a home security system—and if your home is in Richardson, Texas, police there want to know, too.
With home surveillance systems dropping in price in recent years, security cameras have become more common… serving up ‘gotcha moments' at the push of a button: whether that's a delivery man behaving badly, or a crook caught in the act
The idea in Richardson is to map out a network of home security cameras in neighborhoods throughout the city to aid police in identifying and capturing burglars and other perpetrators. In the case of one local resident, Leo Pease, he found a neighbor lady crying as she came out of her house one day because she had discovered she had been robbed. Pease calmed her down and then decided to check the footage from his own cameras. Sure enough, he had caught the burglar on video. Police used the evidence to eventually arrest the thief and return the stolen items back to the woman.
This idea of keeping a database of residential security cameras to aid law enforcement to widen its own surveillance systems is likely to be adopted in other cities and towns around the country.
