A riot shield is a modern shield used by police and some military|armed forces in riot control to protect the shield carrier from melee attacks with blunt or edged weapons and also thrown projectiles, or non-lethal weapons such as rubber bullets and water cannons.

Riot shields are typically made out of transparent polycarbonate and are designed to be shatter resistant, but are typically not ballistic resistant. This prevents the shield from obstructing the carrier's view so they can see incoming thrown objects. In situations where heavily armed resistance is expected, ballistic shields that can protect against gunfire are used instead.

Riot shields can either come in two main variants, one that is one-handed that affords less protection but allows the user to use the other arm, generally to wield a baton. It has two handles, the left-most of which is held on to while the other keeps the arm in place. And another that requires both arms and provides full protection.
