    Study Notes

    Restraint Devices

    • Restraint devices temporarily restrain a subject's movements.
    • Examples include handcuffs, waist chains, leg restraints (leg irons), and flexible leg restraints.
    • Handcuffs are frequently used for temporary subject control.
    • Continuous monitoring is essential when using handcuffs to ensure officer safety.
    • Handcuffing procedures should be performed in a controlled manner to minimize harm to both the officer and the subject.

    Handcuffs

    • Handcuffs are temporary restraint devices used for subject control.
    • Handcuffing does not render a subject harmless.
    • Subjects should be continuously monitored after handcuffing.
    • Officers should prepare to respond appropriately if the subject resists.
    • The procedure should be controlled to minimize potential harm.
    • Identify handcuff parts using diagrams (e.g., Figure 4-24).

    Three-Point Pin

    • A three-point pin is a control technique used for handcuffing.
    • Use loud verbal commands during application.
    • Control the subject's right arm and wrist. Place the right knee across the subject's right shoulder blade (avoiding spinal cord pressure) and the left knee on the ground close to the rib area.
    • Maintain posture to allow quick recovery.

    Handcuffing Technique

    • Handcuffing techniques vary based on subject compliance levels.
    • Essential steps include verbal commands, subject positioning, weapon management (if applicable), holstering/draw, handcuff placement (one at a time), proper fit check, and double locking.
    • The technique can be used in various positions (standing, kneeling, prone).
    • Non-compliant subjects require specific control techniques.

    Removing Handcuffs

    • Steps for removing handcuffs include loud verbal commands, subject positioning, drawing the handcuff key, removing one cuff, controlling the uncuffed hand, and removing the second cuff.
    • Move away from the subject after removing the cuffs.

    Waist Chains

    • Waist chains are used to secure a subject during transport.
    • Apply verbal instructions, position the subject with hands in front, and fasten the waist chain using a black box anchor and chain.
    • Secure the chain to the subject.

    Leg Restraints

    • Leg restraints (leg irons) are often used with waist chains to restrict movement.
    • Apply verbal instructions, ensure proper positioning to prevent injuries, and secure the restraints with a double lock.

    Flexible Restraints

    • Flexible cuffs and flexible leg restraints are lightweight tools for multiple subjects.
    • Cuffs can be single or double, wrapped around wrists and fastened.
    • Leg restraints secure ankles.
    • Use caution when using cutting instruments to remove cuffs.
