Regarding the term "kosh"... I have never heard that term used in the States.
I do recall hearing the term in the Clash song "Somebody got Murdered" from
the Sandanista album so I've always assumed it to be British. American cops,
particularly plainclothesmen did, and some still do, carry blackjacks, also
called a sap. These were small sand filled leather truncheons, which any
reader of classic crime fiction can tell you can be used in varied and
effective means in skilled hands - more subtle than the modern nightstick.
