Hola, María,
Un billy (billy club) sería un palo de los que usa la policía. La traducción exacta dependerá de la audiencia; creo que acá en FL quedaría "billy club", en inglés.
Suerte,
Elena
In the Victorian era, police in London carried clubs about one foot long called **billy-clubs** or truncheons. The impact weapon has developed into several varieties available today. The basic impact weapon is a straight baton, approximately one and a quarter inches in diameter, and from 18 to 36 inches long. It can be made from wood or a synthetic material. This is also called a nightstick. The 36" and longer batons are called "riot batons"; the handle end is sometimes fluted to aid gripping.
