Frequently Asked Questions

What types of ASP products are available in this category?

This category includes ASP duty gear such as batons, handcuffs, restraints, OC products, lighting, tools, and related accessories. Selection may include chain handcuffs, hinge handcuffs, leg restraints, disposable Tri-Fold restraints, expandable batons, fixed batons, and training batons.

Are ASP batons intended for law enforcement duty use?

ASP batons are designed for law enforcement and security applications where quick deployment and control tools are part of an authorized duty setup. Buyers should choose a baton type that matches their training, carry method, and agency or local policy requirements.

What is the difference between ASP chain handcuffs and hinge handcuffs?

Chain handcuffs allow more movement between the cuffs and are a common general-duty restraint style. Hinge handcuffs provide a more rigid connection, which can offer additional control during restraint and transport depending on training and policy.

What are ASP Tri-Fold restraints used for?

ASP Tri-Fold restraints are disposable restraints used for temporary control situations where compact, lightweight restraint options are useful. They can be relevant for crowd control, multiple-subject incidents, or situations where carrying multiple metal restraints is not practical.

How should I choose ASP gear for my duty belt or security kit?

Start with your role, training, and policy requirements, then choose tools that fit your carry setup and expected use. Consider restraint type, baton style, OC deployment preference, lighting needs, and whether the item will be carried on a belt, in a patrol bag, or as part of a training kit.
