1. A tactical utility pole system comprising:
- a handle section including at least one portion adapted to be griped by a user;
one or more extension boom sections;
an elbow section having a first end and a second end, the first end being adapted to couple with one of the handle section and one of the one or more extension boom sections and the second end being adapted to couple an extension boom section, the first and second ends adapted to form one or more angles relative to each other;
one or more attachments adapted to couple with one of the one or more extension booms, the one or more attachments being from the group comprising,(i) a distraction device delivery attachment, the distraction device delivery attachment adapted to secure one or more distraction round on the attachment and break one or more window panes when in use,(ii) a door breaching attachment, the door breaching attachment adapted for breaching a locked door by directing a shock wave created by a distraction round at the door when in use,(iii) a chemical spray delivery attachment, the chemical spray delivery attachment adapted to secure a chemical spray therein, break one or more window panes and rake a window opening to clear window covers and debris when in use and(iv) a chemical grenade delivery attachment, the chemical grenade delivery attachment adapted to irremovably secure a chemical grenade therein, break one or more window panes and discharge the chemical grenade therefrom when in use; and
one or more switches and/or actuators located on or proximate the handle section for activating one or more features of the at least one attachment.

Abstract
A tactical utility pole system for use by law enforcement is described. Embodiments of the system are user configurable depending on a particular tactical need. Variations are described for breaching a locked door, breaching a closed window and delivering and nearly instantaneously detonating a distraction within the associated structure, breaching a closed window and delivering a stream of OC or other chemical spray within the associated structure, and breaching a closed window and delivering a chemical grenade within the structure. Other variations are also contemplated.

20. A tactical utility pole system comprising:
-
a handle tube having a non-circular cross section, a pair of hand holds and at least one receiver end with at least a pair of aligned pin holes extending through the handle tube along an axis generally perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the handle tube; a plurality of extension tubes having a similar non circular cross section as the handle tube, each extension tube having opposing receiver ends with at least a pair of aligned pin holes extending through the extension tube along an axis generally perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the extension tube; an elbow section having first and second receiver tube ends, each of the first and second receiver tube ends having a similar non circular cross section as the plurality of extension tubes and including at least a pair of aligned pin holes extending through the receiver tube end along an axis generally perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the receiver tube end, the angular position of the first and second receiver tube ends being adjustable relative to each other between two or more positions; an attachment comprising one of (i) a distraction round delivery attachment, the distraction round delivery attachment adapted to secure one or more distraction round on the attachment and break one or more window panes when in use, (ii) a door breaching attachment, the door breaching attachment adapted for breaching a locked door by directing a shock wave created by an distraction round at the door when in use, (iii) a chemical spray delivery attachment, the chemical spray delivery attachment adapted to secure a chemical spray therein, break one or more window panes and rake a window opening to clear window covers and debris when in use, and (iv) a chemical grenade delivery attachment, the chemical grenade delivery attachment adapted to irremovably secure a chemical grenade therein, break one or more window panes and discharge the chemical grenade therefrom when in use, each attachment including an attachment receiver tube end having a similar non circular cross section as the plurality of extension tubes and including at least a pair of aligned pin holes extending through the attachment receiver tube end along an axis generally perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the attachment receiver tube end; and a plurality of pins sized to slide within the aligned pin holes of the various sections and the attachment; wherein each of the various receiver ends and receiver tube ends are adapted to either slide over or within another of the various receiver ends and receiver tube ends causing corresponding pairs of aligned pin holes to align and receive a pin of the plurality of pins therein to couple the respective sections or section and attachment together.
