Very informative video, and it is great you have a serving officer going through the details of this. As a former police officer myself I think handcuffs do have their place in the security industry. However it is super important that security officers do undertake the relevant training, and keep their skills refreshed in this aspect, as it is unlikely as a SG/DS you are going to be using them on a daily basis. In the police you have a week officer safety training course, then every year a 1 or 2 day refresher depending so go through handcuffing in detail. You also have to understand the differences and powers. Using handcuffs and detaining someone is a big decision to make, and you need to be mindful of 1. You are completely responsible for the person you have detained, their welfare and their safety, for explain if you use handcuffs and they start bending their hands cutting their wrists on the cuffs you are responsible for this. 2. You have to be 100% on your powers, as you could be liable to false imprisonment, assault or even to an extreme standard kidnap. 3.Ultimate it is all going to depending on the situation and your own judgement, training and skill set. Regardless of using handcuffs everything you do needs to be proportionate, necessary and legal in the circumstances.
Thank you, we really appreciate this. Regarding you're other points, we 100% agree. Handcuffs should only be used as a last resort if they are 100% necessary.
police in scotland get a bit power trippy and actually even charge and take security to court for using them without a proper basis based on extreme takes on the law.
Yes this depends on the company, however a lot of security companies see someone as being handcuff trained as a bonus and can help you stand out from the crowd.
Civilians using handcuffs, good one. 🤣 And there is nothing in the Police Constable's oath to HM about discussing the use of handcuffs with a civilian, weird eh.

I'd like to see a civilian handcuff me, that would be interesting. 🤣
that's odd in my training i was always cuffed behind my back in the stack position not the palm to palm position interesting thanks for the demo

What 'law' is that?
Do we get any card or certificate if we do this course , after graduating it ?
Yes you will get a certificate when you complete the training.

Most security companies won't even allowed us have handcuffs
