English

Subject field(s)
  • Compartment - Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP)
OBS

The carotid control technique is not a chokehold.

OBS

The technique, when applied properly and per training, does not restrict breathing and does not put any pressure on the windpipe. It applies pressure to both sides of a person's neck, without restricting the airway. It may cause, but not always, a very brief period of unconsciousness that allows the police officer to safely place the individual in handcuffs.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Penal Administration
CONT

This is a "standard" basic belly chain. It is placed around the prisoner's waist, pulled snug and the closest chain link is strung on the pass-through link at the other end. A pair of handcuffs is then hooked through the pass-through link and locked on the prisoner's wrists. Once locked, the cuffs cannot be unhooked from the pass-through link and prevent its removal from the chain, thus keeping the chain locked around the waist and the prisoner's wrists held close to the waist as well.
