Abstract

Various implementations include a baton device. The baton device includes a body having a longitudinal axis, a first end, and a second end opposite and spaced apart along the longitudinal axis from the first end. The first end includes a handle. The body includes a plurality of telescoping segments including a first telescoping segment and at least one additional telescoping segment. The first telescoping segment includes the first end of the body and the handle. The additional telescoping segment is telescopingly slidable relative to an adjacent telescoping segment. A plurality of sensors is disposed within the body. A controller is disposed within the body and operatively connected to the plurality of sensors.
