The PR-24 baton is a multi-purpose police instrument constructed of 100% virgin Monpac (TM) plastic. It is 24 inches long, 1 1/4 inches in diameter, and weighs 27 ounces. A handle is form-fitted at right angles to the long extended portion and helf in place with a hardened steel bolt. There are two variants—the PR-24AL, the short and long extended portions of which are constructed of aircraft aluminum, and the PR-24S, which is a single molded piece of extra strong polycarbonate material.
