Armament Systems and Procedures, Inc. (ASP, Inc.) is a US-based manufacture of compliance equipment used by law enforcement and private security companies.
Agencies such as the US Secret Service began using ASP batons as an intermediate non-lethal weapon.
In 1987, the company launched the ASP training division with the inaugural Tactical Baton Seminar, held in Atlantic City.
ASP batons are friction-lock in design, and are opened by swinging the handle forcibly through the air.
The company produces restraints such as handcuffs and plastic ties, 19 different types of flashlights,[2] and other weapons accessories.
