(in the US) They come in varying lengths and the most common type carried by foot patrol officers usually run 16 to 18 inches in length. So called 'riot sticks' used by officers during civil disturbances usually run 36 to 40 inches in length. Some departments still allow officers to carry so-called 'billy clubs' which are really nothing more than short batons, which usually run 6 to 8 inches in length.
