What are Stop Sticks?
Career: Stop Stick
Stop Sticks are specialized tire-deflation devices used by law enforcement to safely and effectively stop fleeing vehicles during pursuits. They consist of a lightweight, extendable unit with hollow spikes that puncture and deflate tires when driven over, leading to a controlled loss of air and gradual stop. Stop Sticks are designed to minimize risk to officers, suspects, and bystanders by providing a non-lethal alternative to end dangerous high-speed chases.
