The general name is baton (french for stick). The longer baton (about 28 inches) is a night stick- so called because it was carried by policemen patrolling on foot at night. Although rarely seen today, there was also a daystick- a short club, about 12-14 inches. There is also a riot baton- used in crowd control- about 30 inches long.

How did police officers contact each other in the 1970s?
Before there were radios in every car, there were call boxes all over the city. These were for fire or police. If someone needed the police they could run to a call box and call for help, the dispatcher would then send an officer to the call-box location. When phones became common in every home, there were red and green lights placed on towers or tall buildings in cities. Officers on duty would monitor those lights; if it was green it was all clear. If the light turned red it meant there was a call for the police, the officers would then stop at the station or the nearest phone and call the station to get the information on the call for help. Before two-way radios there was a one-way monitor system in patrol cars. The dispatcher could give out a call to the officers, but the officers wouldn't be able to talk back to the dispatcher, so the officer would have to go to the call on their own. The dispatcher would have to assume the officers heard them. Today, most patrol cars have computers in them and are equipped with GPS tracking, video cameras, and audio recorders. In some jurisdictions the dispatcher doesn't have to use a radio at all because of the technology these cars are equipped with they can tell where the officer is and what they are doing at all times.
