How do you handcuff a one-armed man?

Good question as I've actually done this before. I will obviously handcuff him around his one wrist and then I will take the other end of the handcuffs and hook it around his beltloop in the middle of his pants in the back. If he has athletic shorts I just cut his good arm off and call it good! :lol:

I was thinking maybe you could handcuff his one wrist, then attach the other end to his opposite ankle. But then you would have to carry his a*s to the squad car! :dumdum

It's possible, but I make sure he/she understands that they have one good arm and I have two. If they screw around I'll be forced to deal with it accordingly and chances are they are going to get hurt. I've never had a problem yet. This is something that I've only dealt with a few times in my career and it's basically a no win situation for the officer. You can't secure them well enough so I just threaten them with violence. :lol:

If you have leg irons with the longer chain you can do that. I have in the past, cuffed the good hand to the cage in the car for transport.

Good idea, but with our cars we don't have the metal cages, we have the plexi glass as our divider. We also can't hobble anyone as it's against our policy and procedure and it has to be a crazy circumstance for us to do it. Sucks because hobbling them and then closing the door on the other end of the hobble will stop a misbehaving bad guy fairly quickly.

Yes Plexi glass is good to stop any exposure of spit, blood, urine, vomit, etc. eyeswear2allthatsholy One arm or two they can be real a**holes!

It's pretty nice to have the plexi glass back there along with the plastic seat. If someone makes a mess back there we have drains in the floor and we just grab the hose and spray it out. Makes for a nice clean-up that you don't have to deal with.

you can always use the hobbler and just break both ankles

This begs me to ask, how often does something like this happen? Any of them care to go "full toilet?"BIGREDIOWAN said:

It doesn't happen too often because I make sure I have a come to Jesus talk with them before we go anywhere. Drunks are the ones you have to watch out for, but they get the same talk. If you make a mess in the back of my patrol car you're not going to like the consequences. I say it in different words though............... :lol:
