Notice different batons to old table leg and ASP. This is during the Love Ulster riots of 2006.

Is this the Public Order Unit? If so, roughly how many members do they have?

This is the Public Order Unit. The baton that you see is their primary baton for public order duty. They can only draw it and use it once an order from the member in charge has been given. (Open to correction on that though).

They still carry the standard ASP which is a personal protection baton. They can draw this without been ordered but the usual rules apply to it's use.

You can have a 26" one if you're prepared to go to Santry & swap your current baton for it.
