As stated earlier, Monadnock was founded in 1958. At the beginning, Monadnock manufactured Monpac and polycarbonate riot batons, night sticks, and billy clubs. Monadnock was one of the leading founders of the PR-24 baton for police officers. The PR-24 police baton was and still is a key piece of the daily police equipment. As time passed, technology increased. Monadnock has taken that technology and used it to manufacture a better baton. They specialize in the positive lock and friction lock expandable batons.

Monadnock produces the following products: AutoLock Batons, AutoLock Defender, AutoLock Jr. Batons, AutoLock HG Batons, Classic Friction Lock Batons, Positive Lock Batons, PR-24 Control Batons, Monpac Batons, restraints, and baton holders.

The Monadnock AutoLock police batons are available in 16", 18", 21", 22", and 26" lengths. The batons can come in a black chrome or bright nickel finish with either a super grip or foam grip.

The Monadnock AutoLock Defender is a collapsible police baton similar to the AutoLock baton except for one added feature. The AutoLock Defender protects the officer's gun hand from hostile strikes by covering it with a guard that goes over the knuckles. The guard also helps keep the baton firmly in the officer's hand during blocking, striking, and jabbing techniques. The AutoLock Defender is only available in black chrome and has the length options as the AutoLock.

The Monadnock AutoLock Jr. has the same operating concept as any other AutoLock baton, but is smaller. The AutoLock Jr. is only 9.5" long. This miniature baton is great for bodyguards, bails bondsman, investigators, private detectives, and security officers.
