What is a police probe used for?

[RF Lighting]

Greetings,

I've just been browsing a website, buying some new insulated tools, and found that the website is selling a tool called a police probe.


Anyone know what it is used for?

Bit morbid but i think it's for poking in the ground looking for dead bodies. Might buy one actually

When quoteing for installing underground cabling...if you hit lots of rocks then its sharp intake of breath time...

It's not something they use to improve people's ability to help them with their enquiries?
