Use of handcuffs during hand-to-hand combat. Fizo-Do: Martial arts, self-defense, safety measures, physical and psychological preparation The history of handcuffs

Part 1. Design and types of handcuffs. Methods of putting on and interaction when putting on handcuffs.

The first handcuffs were placed by one person on another right after iron was invented. And the first mass batch of steel bracelets came out at the beginning of the 16th century. By the way, back then the handcuffs were called “Darby”, translated as “hand shackles”. This model of handcuffs successfully survived until the beginning of the twentieth century. Darby could be worn on both arms and legs. It was not very easy to get out of such bracelets, but they had one significant drawback- size was not adjustable.
A person with small hands could simply slip out of Darby. Therefore, manufacturers were forced over time to launch production of at least three different sizes. The largest ones (they were produced in the largest quantities), of course, were intended for men, the medium ones for women, and, finally, the smallest ones for juvenile delinquents. By the way, children's handcuffs were also used to shackle fragile women with thin hands.

In 1912, a revolution occurred in the production of handcuffs. Before this, to be honest, they most closely resembled a padlock. But Peerless engineers decided that this was not enough, and in order to shackle a person securely, an individual approach was needed. This is how a design appeared with a bow that rotated right through. Now handcuffs could be adjusted to the size of the hands of each individual person.
In 1932, Peerless and Smith & Wesson finalized the design of new handcuffs. Since then, they have been used by police officers all over the world. For example, in Russia, NPO Spetsmaterialy from St. Petersburg produces a copy of the Peerless model. In Russia, these handcuffs are wittily called “Tenderness”.

Handcuff device

Classic handcuffs consist of two locking devices, with toothed sectors rotating on an axis, connected to each other by a two-link chain and a key. The locking part of the handcuffs allows them to be latched without using a key, and also to secure the latch from further unnecessary dangerous squeezing.
The size of the handcuffs allows them to be used on as small a hand as desired. in the extreme position, the arms are compressed to an oval with sides of 5 and 4.5 cm, but they can also be snapped onto the wrists sufficiently big size or even on the ankle.

Sector 2 should rotate freely counterclockwise. To fix the sector in an engaged position with the locking device, it is necessary to push the pusher 5 into the locking device with the tail of the key.

To open the handcuffs, you need to insert key 4 into the keyhole and turn it counterclockwise, which will allow you to remove the locking device, then turn key 4 clockwise to disengage the sector from the locking device.

Preparing handcuffs for putting on means that the sector is engaged with the locking device and installed on the last prong. The locking device must be in the unlocked position (the pusher is not recessed).

Before handcuffing, the opponent's hand must be brought into a comfortable position (free the wrist). To put on handcuffs, it is necessary to hold the locking device, apply the sector to the wrist and sharply press the locking device so that the sector rotates 180 degrees on its axis and enters the locking device. Then it is necessary to squeeze the sector in the direction of movement so tightly as to exclude the possibility of removing the hand and excessive compression of the wrist, leading to cessation of blood circulation.
To fix the sector in this position, it is necessary to recess the pusher into the body of the handcuffs using the shank of the key.

Types of handcuffs

Currently, quite a lot of companies produce handcuffs that differ in shape and design. All of them can be used by police officers and private security companies, so in the manual it makes sense to consider the main, most well-known and widespread models.

Darby- translated as “hand shackles”, this type of handcuffs has been the world standard for approximately 300 years. In some US states, such handcuffs are still used by the police. Similar handcuffs can be found in museums in our country; they date back to the tsarist period. Manufactured by HIATT. This company still produces them for collectors. They open by screwing in a key, which is a tube with internal thread. The key is screwed onto the threaded latch, and after pulling it out, the lock opens. No key required for latching.
The presented model is not adjustable to wrist sizes and manufacturing companies were forced to produce handcuffs of different sizes, there were separate ones for men, for women and even for children.

Peerless(“incomparable”) - famous and widespread American handcuffs, patent 1912, design 1932. In the 1970s. the patent expired and now companies around the world are imitating them. They have anti-squeeze pins and a groove on the arc. They have a lock that allows you to block further movement of the arc and prevent possible over-tightening. The latch is activated by pressing the pin on the side with a specially designed pin on the key.
The Russian analogue of this model of handcuffs called “Tenderness” is widespread among law enforcement officials.

"Tenderness-2"- produced by NPO Spetsmaterialy St. Petersburg. Instead of a chain, the halves of the handcuffs are connected by three metal earrings, which only allow them to turn (fold) a little, which provides a more rigid fixation of the hands and does not make it possible, for example, to get into a pocket located on the other side of the cuffed hands. They have anti-squeeze pins and a groove on the arc. They have a lock that allows you to block further movement of the arc and prevent possible over-tightening. The latch is activated by pressing the pin on the side with a specially designed pin on the key.

"BR-S"- the main model of handcuffs used by domestic law enforcement officers.
"BR2-M"- simplified version. There is no anti-spin or lock. The latch is similar to the "Tenderness-1" mechanism. The smallest in size among the chain ones. The secrecy of the castle leaves much to be desired, because... there is no pin preventing access to the lock mechanism, the keyhole is made much more large sizes than it should have been. A key hole is made on the opposite cheek, which also causes a decrease in secrecy.
"Crab" Large handcuff arms. Due to the large teeth on the closing arc, there is only one tooth on the mechanism latch. The latch protrudes outward, which allows them to be fixed without using a key, unlike many other models. The anti-squeeze groove is made only on one side of the arc. The key is bent from a flat metal plate. Unlike other fixed models, the locking is removed when the key is turned in the same direction as for opening.
Finger cuffs. These handcuffs are not placed on the wrists, but on the fingers. Very light and convenient to carry in your pocket. Open with a standard key. They have a lock, which is also activated by pressing the pin on the key or turning the key.

Methods of handcuffing

Methods of handcuffing are determined during the decision process specific tasks, for example, when being escorted, their hands are shackled. To prevent violent behavior, other, more stringent measures of movement restriction, including shackling of arms, legs and torso, may be used. As a rule, handcuffs are put on the hands behind the back (when the offender is transported, handcuffs are put on in the front position).
Handcuffing is usually used after painful holds and throws or under the threat of a firearm.

When handcuffing, regardless of the position of the opponent, a number of rules must be observed:

  1. Before putting on handcuffs, you should, threatening with a pistol, force your opponent to take a position that is convenient for their use and makes it difficult for him to attack you
  2. the opponent must be pressed tightly with his chest and stomach to the ground, wall, etc.
  3. To put on handcuffs, the hands are placed behind the back one by one, and a painful effect is applied to them
  4. When putting on handcuffs, it is necessary that the locking device is adjacent to inner surface wrists, and the sector was rotated in such a direction as to exclude the possibility of it getting caught on clothing or the body

When putting on handcuffs, you must be on the side of your opponent, out of reach of your legs. It is dangerous to handcuff only one of the detainee's hands while holding the other in your own hand, as he may use this position to strike.
By threatening to use your service weapon, you can demand that your opponent handcuff himself. To do this, without approaching a dangerous distance, throw the handcuffs at his feet and demand: “Take it and put it on!”

To more reliably restrict movement, the following hand positions are used when handcuffing (tying):

  • arms behind your back, hands one above the other
  • hands behind your back, hands pressed back to back

Sometimes two detainees are tied together. In this case, the hands of the second offender are threaded through the handcuffed hand of the first offender (they are turned behind the back), and then they are also handcuffed from behind in the palms-out position.

The handcuffs on your wrists should be checked every two hours. Otherwise, the locking lock may be weakened and, as a result, the escorted person will be freed from handcuffs.

Handcuffing while lying down

First option

Sequencing:
- threatening with a pistol, command: “Stop! - I will shoot! - Hands up! - All around! - Hands behind head! - Interlace your fingers! - Get on your knees! - Lie on your stomach! - Hands behind your back!
- sit astride the opponent’s back, legs on your knees, with your left hand grab his right hand from above with a direct grip (take a “wrist press” for a painful hold), and with your right hand rest on the elbow; use both hands to increase the extension of the hand, exerting a painful effect on it, put the pistol in the holster, grab the opponent’s hand with your right hand

Place your right leg on the foot so that the elbow (shoulder) rests on the shin (block the hand with the shin)

With your right hand, release the wrist, pushing back the sleeve on the opponent’s hand, take out the handcuffs and take the first locking device with the sector up
- with your left hand, move the opponent’s right hand, bringing it to a position convenient for putting on the locking device, place the locking device behind his wrist from below and put it on

With your left hand, release the wrist on the opponent’s left hand, pushing back the sleeve, holding the hand with your right hand, without releasing the handcuffs
- grab the hand with your left hand and move the opponent’s hand away
- with your right hand, place the second locking device behind the wrist from below, finish putting on the handcuffs

Perform booster and fixation of sectors

This method of handcuffing can be used using fighting techniques: bending the arm behind the back, including in interaction, any transfers to a prone position (throwing, falling, for example, using an arm lever outward, etc.).

After performing any techniques, it is necessary to transfer the opponent to the “lying on his stomach” position and block the hand with his shin (see figure above).
This method of blocking is much more effective than the usually recommended holding of the hands with the thighs. In this case, the opponent’s hand is securely fixed in a painful hold and the possibility of its abduction is excluded. In addition, if the enemy tries to leave this position and counterattack, the employee can easily get up and act further on the situation.
In this option, directly putting on handcuffs is the most optimal. Placing the locking devices behind the wrist with the sector up ensures free rotation of the sector outward, preventing it from snagging on clothing.

This method of handcuffing can be recommended for use in the “standing” and “kneeling against the wall” positions of the opponent.

Second option.

To block the opponent more reliably, he can be taken with two painful holds - on the leg and on the arm.

Sequencing:
- threatening with a pistol, demand: “Stop! - I will shoot! - Hands up! - All around! - Hands behind head! - Interlace your fingers! - Get on your knees! - Lie on your stomach! - Hands behind your back!
After the opponent assumes the “lying on his stomach” position with his hands behind his back, you need to:
- demand: “Bend your right leg at the knee joint!”
- perform a painful hold
- pinch the calf muscle
- put the gun in the holster, take out the handcuffs
- block the opponent’s right hand with your left hand, exerting painful pressure on it, put on handcuffs

If the enemy resists, you need to act according to the situation: increase the impact of painful techniques, strike with handcuffs, jump up and run away, use a pistol.

Putting on handcuffs after detaining the enemy in the “kneeling, pressed against the wall” position

Sequencing:
- threatening with a weapon, demand: “Stop! - I will shoot! - Hands up! - All around! - Hands behind head! - Interlace your fingers! - Come to the wall! - Closer! - Spread your legs! - Wider! - Stand on your knees! - Press yourself against the wall! - Tighter! - Hands behind your back!
- approach the enemy from behind, put your left leg between his legs, take a lunge position, place your left hand under your knee and press the enemy’s knee against the wall, block his right hand with your left hand, exerting painful pressure on it
- put the gun in the holster, take out the handcuffs and put them on

For convenience, you can stand on your right knee.

In case of resistance, act according to the situation: increase the impact of the painful hold, strike with the heel from above calf muscle, hit with handcuffs, run away, use a pistol.

Putting handcuffs on after detaining the enemy in the “standing with hands against the wall” position

A more complex (from a security point of view) method is to put handcuffs on with a pistol threatening the enemy in the position of “standing with hands resting on the wall (roof) passenger car and so on.)". In this situation, the enemy has more opportunities to counter, since he is on his feet.

Sequencing:
- command the offender: “Stop! - I will shoot! - Hands up! - All around! - Hands behind head! - Interlace your fingers! - “Come to the wall!” One step short: “Stop! - Put your hands against the wall! - Spread your legs to the sides! - Wider! “Put your right hand behind your back!”
- place your left leg between the opponent’s legs and press him firmly against the wall with your thigh, and with your left hand block his right hand, exerting a painful effect on it
-put the gun in the holster, take out the handcuffs, put them on

Handcuffing interaction

Tactical and technical actions using physical strength V different situations service and combat activities are carried out, as a rule, by two or more employees in cooperation. The most typical situations requiring the use of physical force in interaction are the detention of persons who oppose the legal demands of a police officer during special operations detaining persons who have committed a crime, carrying persons offering passive resistance, separating the grips of persons forming a chain, and in other situations.
An analysis of specialized literature has shown that the issue of interaction between police officers in such situations is extremely insufficiently covered. Therefore, to help police officers, we offer an arsenal of technical and tactical actions together to suppress illegal actions and detain the perpetrators using handcuffs.

Forceful arrest in interaction can be carried out depending on the situation and tactical plan when approaching from the front, from behind, one from the front and the other from behind.

By convention, when describing actions, employees are designated: No. 1 – performing techniques on left hand, No. 2 – performing techniques on the right and putting on handcuffs.
Actions No. 1 can be carried out by blocking the left hand by grabbing it with both hands, applying a painful hold to it, grabbing the opponent’s neck or head with the shoulder and forearm when approaching from behind and from the side to carry out a choke and painful hold, as well as throws or falls.
Actions No. 2 consist of painful holds: bending the right arm behind the back, throwing or falling down, followed by transferring to a position lying on the stomach and moving on to placing the arm behind the back, as well as putting on handcuffs.

Let's consider options for detaining and handcuffing two police officers with the enemy being placed in a lying position and in a standing position.

If the detention is carried out with the opponent in a prone position, then first he must be turned over to a position lying on his stomach and his hands take the arm lever inward for a painful hold.

Then No. 2 does the following:
- puts the opponent’s right hand behind his back and sits astride his back, placing his left leg on his knee and his right leg on his foot (or he rests the knee of his left leg on his back and puts his right leg on his foot, with his left hand he grabs the right hand from above with a direct grip, and with the right hand by the elbow; with both hands increases the elevation of the arm, exerting a painful effect on it

Places the right leg on the foot so that the opponent’s elbow (shoulder) rests on the shin (block the arm with the shin); with his right hand he releases the wrist, pushing back the sleeve on the opponent’s hand, takes out the handcuffs and takes the first locking device with the sector up

With his left hand, he moves the opponent’s right hand, bringing it into a position convenient for putting on the locking device, puts the locking device behind his wrist and puts it on

With his right hand he grabs the second locking device with the sector facing up

- No. 1 places the opponent’s left arm behind his back and releases the wrist by pulling back the sleeve
- No. 2 grabs the hand with his left hand, places the second locking device behind the wrist from below with his right hand, completes putting on the handcuffs and performs pressure and fixation of the sectors

The presented option for handcuffing is the most optimal. The enemy is reliably blocked. Placing the locking devices behind the wrist with the sector up ensures free rotation of the sector outward, preventing it from snagging on clothing.

If handcuffs are put on while the opponent is standing, after arrest it is necessary to bring the opponent to a wall, car door, etc. A little short of reaching her, No. 2 demands: “Spread your legs! Wider!”, presses him tightly against the wall

and with his right hand he cuffs the opponent’s right hand.

No. 1 helps place the left arm behind the back, and No. 2 places the cuffs on the left arm.

Special techniques and actions

Putting handcuffs on and conducting an initial external examination of a detainee is a complex technical actions, including approaching and making physical contact with a detainee during an inspection that directly poses a danger to the persons performing these actions. All this requires constant close attention, skills in handcuffing and inspection, and coordinated actions of employees.

The initial external examination of the detainee is a preventive measure that is carried out to ensure the personal safety of employees, the seizure of weapons from the detainee, items that can be used as weapons for attack, and the seizure of possible material evidence. An external examination is carried out immediately after the person is detained. It is safest to carry out an external examination of the detainee after handcuffing and in the presence of a partner, who is located near the detainee and, threatening him with a weapon, controls his actions. The partner must take a position that would ensure the safety of the officer who is handcuffing and performing the initial external examination. The partner should also be ready to provide assistance if necessary. For example, the officer who carries out the external examination stands on the right, behind the detainee. Another officer, who controls the behavior of the detainee with a weapon, stands to the left, behind the detainee, at an angle of approximately 45°-90° relative to the first officer, also maintaining safe distance from the detainee (2.5-3 meters).

Particular attention should be paid to the choice of position in which handcuffs are put on. Handcuffing can be done in a standing position if there is a partner, the detainee does not resist, and there is reason to believe that he will not resist. If there is even a slight suspicion that the detained person may resist, and also if the officer carries out these actions alone, it is necessary to handcuff him in a kneeling position, against a wall, and, if conditions allow, in a lying position.

External inspection is carried out in compliance with the following requirements:

  • It is necessary to warn the detainee before the inspection that if he tries to resist, coercive measures will be applied to him.
  • It is prohibited to enter into a verbal dialogue with the detainee, allow him to look around, or interfere with the inspection.
  • It is prohibited to begin an inspection before the location of the personnel conducting the inspection is safe. You cannot reduce the distance to the detainee until he takes the position necessary for inspection.
  • You cannot stand between the detainee’s legs, put your hands over your shoulder, put your hands near the armpits, or put your hands in the detainee’s pockets (especially if he is not yet handcuffed). If any item is found in your pocket, you must remove it by turning the pocket inside out, or grab the pocket fabric with your fingers, pushing its contents out.
  • You cannot palpate with both hands at the same time.
  • When carrying out an inspection, you must not lower your head down; you must always look at the detainee, and not at your hands.
  • When conducting an inspection, one employee must hold the gun in his hand. If there is a possibility of an attack from the detainee, the cartridge must be chambered, the fuse in"Fire" positionyour finger should rest on top of the trigger guard.The inspection should only be carried out after handcuffing.


The inspection is carried out visually and by sequentially palpating the clothing and body, from top to bottom and from bottom to top, while paying attention to places where dangerous things can be hidden (sleeves, pockets, shins, hats, hair, behind the collar, under the arms, in groin area). It should be remembered that not always You can identify a hidden weapon or other object after the first probing. It should also be remembered that when carrying out an external examination, palpating and touching the detainee with the entire palm or fingertips, there is a danger of being pricked by a needle from a syringe, which may have the carrier’s blood on it HIV infection , hepatitis or other very dangerous diseases (you must use special gloves, at least medical ones). When identifying weapons, objects that may be weapons of crime, material evidence, etc., it is necessary to use gloves, a handkerchief, and the like. If dangerous or suspicious items are identified, they must be removed by pushing them out. When carrying out an external examination, it is always necessary to be prepared for the fact that the detainee may resist or use techniques hand-to-hand combat and etc.


Handcuffing and external examination in a standing position.

Starting position - having removed the pistol from the holster, facing the detainee, the first officer points the weapon towards the detainee, the second officer with a pistol pointed at the detainee stands on the left side towards the first officer at an angle of 45°-90°:

  • The first employee loudly and clearly gives the command:“Stop! Slowly raise your arms up! Turn around slowly!”Next the command is given: “Put your legs wide! Bend your torso forward! Place both hands behind your back! The backs of your hands are one to one! Thumbs up! Turn your head to the left and don’t move!”;
  • both employees must keep a safe distance (2.5-3 meters), not approach the detainee until he takes the appropriate position and the first employee is ready to handcuff;
  • but no blow!

Hold the handcuffs by the chain with your right hand (one handcuff is located from the thumb, the second from the little finger, a single movable bracket is directed from the four fingers).

Grab both thumbs with your left hand and put on the handcuff with your right hand with a quick movement from above, but without hitting! (or from below, if the detainee is tall) to the narrowest place on the wrists so that the detainee’s hands remain handcuffed back sides to each other.

Check the tightness of the handcuffs (only one little finger should fit under the handcuff. If the handcuffs are tightened more, the blood supply to the detainee’s cyst may be disrupted, which can lead to injury to the hands. If you can squeeze more than your little finger into the handcuff, then the detainee may try to free himself from the handcuff ).

Typical errors:

  • The detainee turned around and stood in a normal stance.
  • The detainee's torso is not tilted, the detainee's head is down, or he is trying to see what is happening behind him.
  • During inspection, the second officer keeps the first one in the line of fire.
  • Under the threat of a weapon, with clear, decisive commands, force the detainee, after turning around, to spread his legs as far apart as possible, put his hands behind his back, with the backs of his hands facing each other.
  • Force the detainee to turn his head in the direction opposite to the one conducting the inspection and tilt his torso.
  • Handcuffing must be carried out clearly and quickly, but without impact; handcuffs must be prepared for use and be in appropriate technical condition.
  • The second officer must clearly and carefully monitor what is happening during the handcuffing and visual inspection, and hold his weapon, taking into account the position of the first officer.


Handcuffing and external examination while standing near a wall.
The starting position is to remove the pistol from the holster, facing the detainee, the first officer points the weapon towards the detainee, the second officer with a pistol also aimed at the detainee stands to the left of the first officer, at an angle of 45°-90°:

After checking the tightness of the handcuffs, you need to lock them with a key. This is done to prevent self-tightening of handcuffs during escort or transportation, which can lead to injury to the detainee’s hands;
  • it is necessary to remember that a detainee in handcuffs cannot be placed on his stomach and left unattended, as well as the need to check the condition of the detainee’s hands and handcuffs every 60 minutes in the summer and every 40 minutes in the winter;
  • Subsequently, an external examination of the detainee is carried out, standing from behind from the side, first right side, then left;
  • The second officer, who insures the first, must constantly monitor the behavior of the detainee and what is happening around him while handcuffing and performing an external examination. He must always be ready to assist the first employee, and also always stand in such a way as not to keep the first employee in the line of fire. As the first officer moves to the left to continue examining the detainee's left side, the second officer must quickly lower his weapon hand down and move to the right, and then again keep the detainee under control (at gunpoint) so as not to keep the first officer in the line of fire.

Force the detainee, after turning around, to rest his head against the wall, put his feet wide apart, away from the wall, put his hands behind his back, with the backs of his hands facing each other.

Typical errors:

  • it is necessary to remember that a detainee in handcuffs cannot be placed on his stomach and left unattended, as well as the need to check the condition of the detainee’s hands and handcuffs every 60 minutes in the summer and every 40 minutes in the winter;
  • Next, an external examination of the detainee is carried out in a lying position (on his knees or standing from behind on the side), first of his right side, then of his left;
