This video must be a comedy skit from SNL. 1. Ive NEVER seen a cop wait to do a weapon pat down till AFTER cuffing them. Wtf? 2. Those cuffs were loose AF. 3. They should be tightened w/ only 1/4" max gap & double locked immediately. 4. any slick person could EASILY slide out of his bangled bracelets.
Good information and is different than other techniques. In corrections (Missouri) our escort style didn't include the wrist lock, only the above-elbow support. Thank you
Thanks for that. It re-emphasised the training I got during my military career. We were always trained to handcuff behind the back, but I never really got a good answer to which is best. So which is best behind the back or infront, I've seen both done by police officers
I carry ASP hinged handcuffs. The benefit is when we need to cuff in front, we will have the palms away from each other, and as such the key holes are in no way tamperable, but we can utilize the roll cage camera to keep documentation for future training and, if needed, court proceedings
@Carry every day as far as I'm aware, ar least in the US, in front is only used in jails, court, and prisoner transfers. The last one typically includes leg shackles and a chain connecting both the cuffs and the shackles to the waist.
When my sister was arrested before, they put the cuff in front. When you aren’t fighting or they know you personally they will allow you to have comfort
The technique you were holding your handcuffs we called it pistol grip. Key holes facing up and double lock them. I’ve been putting mechanicals (handcuffs) on subjects for years. Good video.
One more thing to keep in mind your Keyhole should never face inward but outward so that if someone knows how to pick a set of cuffs the keyholes will not be facing towards them and it will make it harder
So when placing the cuffs around the wrists, its supposed to be where the keyholes are essentially facing up? I have a class on this tomorrow for work but I'm trying to prepare myself so I don't look like a complete idiot😂
Someone who knows what they’re doing will more likely try to use a shim to depress the pawls. More import than worrying about keyway direction is to worry about the hand positions. Try to always cuff so that the backs of the hands are together. This way, regardless of keyways they won’t have the dexterity to manipulate anything.
A great many subjects will not be flexible enough to get their hands/wrists that close together, or cooperative enough to do it even if they can, or just too fat for this technique to work. Not saying it’s a bad technique. It works great when it works, but have a good plan B
they should come out with aerosol handcuffs, the officer sprays the suspects hands while together behind their back and the adhesive cures almost immediately then when they want to release it the police have a special release agent that dissolves the adhesive
@@petermeisenstein3752 exactly. If you teach a recruit something and you don't include everything, that recruit is obviously going to be taught on field day but it's just important to include everything because there are things that a officer has to include when arresting someone or it could be taken to court if they don't
