#1There is a new cuff in town...well sort of.
This product allows the officer to cuff one hand of a resisting suspect from a short distance while another officer gains control over the other hand and finally secures the subject. A couple of taps from the other side of the device might also aid in achieving compliance from the arrestee.
The manufacturer provides the following:
Apprehender™ Cuffing Baton (CB-01)
Your ability to safely and effectively control an uncooperative individual is dependent on the training and equipment that you have to work with. Whether you are part of the law enforcement community or work in a private security service you want the best tools at your disposal.
That’s why the CB-01, by RMB Industries, Inc, is your best choice for a tactical baton. Designed to provide superior control features, RMB Industries, Inc has pursued the goal of providing greater safety for those “on both sides of the baton”. Therein lies the basis for our “Greater Safety ~ Greater Control” philosophy and motto. This objective serves the public, the officer, and the agency needing to attend to public relations and litigation liability.
Litigation Avoidance
The CB-01 offers distinct advantages to the agency wishing to reduce their litigation liability. By providing the officer with a less aggressive technique for apprehension, the CB-01 is clearly preferably to other tactical batons whose main function is to strike a suspect into submission - a virtual magnet for lawsuits.
Leveraged Control rather than multi-strike Compliance
The CB-01 has an integrated handcuff with a remotely operated control mechanism. This patented innovation affords a level of leveraged control that is unavailable with either the traditional side-handle baton or the more trendy expandable batons. These older-style batons offer a weapon for producing compliance by inflicting pain and a minimal degree of defensive protection. The cuffing baton technology introduces a broad range of tactical options.
