👉 An adoption weapon, also known as an adoption dagger or adoption knife, is a specialized tool designed for law enforcement and military personnel to incapacitate suspects during non-lethal takedowns of individuals who pose a threat but are not yet considered dangerous enough for lethal force. Typically, these weapons are compact, often resembling a utility knife or a small dagger, and are equipped with features like a quick-release mechanism for swift disarmament. They are intended to minimize injury while ensuring the safety of both officers and suspects, providing a controlled method to subdue individuals without resorting to lethal force.
