Reading their website, if I have to replace my AutoLock the Peacekeeper is the replacement. Their opening instruction also fits my roll call story....

The Peacekeeper RCB baton truly is the Almightys Rod of Correction. They are essentially a collapsible steel pipe...with all that implies. Very heavy to carry....but when you absolutely positively have to break something right now....
The Peacekeepers aren't that much heavier. They simply shift the weight forward. If you're carrying a worthless (aka airweight) baton then the difference is going to be more significant.
Per my kitchen scale:
26" Monadnock Auto Lock with "mushroom" cap - 26.7 oz
26" Peacekeep with "combo" cap - 27.8 oz
That is almost no weight difference for a huge bump in performance.
No electricity?
Speaking to the hiring/retention issues, I thought it was funny that this showed up on my facebook feed today:
Attachment 44913Quote:
Join our team. The Fredericksburg Police Department is testing for police officer vacancies on December 4 and December 14.
Our Department is the only law enforcement agency in the greater Fredericksburg region that allows officers to have facial hair year-round and display tattoos while on patrol. Officers who live in the City or participate in specialty teams also have the opportunity to have a take-home car.
How dare those unprofessional, dirty slobs that can't hack the job.

I'm not sure. Maybe it's a training exercise and that's some indication of a training prop?
@deputyG23, any idea?
