Proper Training In The Use Of Handcuffs Is Vital To Officers

Handcuffs are among the most often used tools by officers, yet training is severely lacking. Studies show that over 67% of resistance by subjects occurs after the first handcuff has been applied. All too often the result is injury and/or death to either the officer or subject.
