Police Standard Handcuffs
Such as the "Type 838" handcuffs used by the Chinese Public Security Bureau (compliant with GA/T 138-2010 standard), resistant to prying and pulling.
Disposable, suitable for large-scale arrests.
Restrict thumb movement, now rarely used.
Equipped with GPS tracking function, used to monitor the suspect's location.
Q: 1. What is the core difference between handcuffs and leg irons?
A: They serve different functions.
• Handcuffs: The core function is to control movement and prevent aggression. They restrict the hands, preventing attacking others, self-harm, use of tools, or escape by climbing.
• Leg irons: The core function is to deprive freedom of movement. They restrict the feet, completely eliminating the ability to run, jump, and kick forcefully.
Handcuffs are about "control," leg irons are about "restraint."
Q: 2. Under what circumstances would leg irons be used on a suspect?
A: The use of leg irons follows the "maximum proportion principle" and is only used when the risk level is extremely high, such as:
• Those with a proven history of violent escape or attempted escape.
• Those accused or convicted of extremely violent crimes (such as murder, terrorism).
• High-risk individuals during long-distance transport or outdoor transfers.
• Those who have committed serious disciplinary infractions in prison and pose a real danger.
The use of leg irons typically requires written approval from a high-ranking officer and is far from a decision that can be made by on-site law enforcement personnel alone.
