PRISONER TRANSFERS – EQUIPMENT FOR HEIGHTENED SAFETY

From suspects in investigative custody to the transfer from and to court: The transport of prisoners involves risks. That is true for officers of the law as well as other arrested individuals – especially, if several individuals are being transported.

Accordingly, the fitting safety equipment is of great importance because handcuffs are not always sufficient for the securing of arrested persons.

PRISONER TRANSPORT BELTS FOR THE SECURE FIXATION

Flight or fight? Not only openly renitent prisoners pose these threads. Prisoner transport belts reduce these risks efficiently. Simple prisoner transport belts already prevent that hands can be moved to the back unnoticed or can be used to attack. Complete systems with leg restraints also can reduce the length or stride and therefore prevent kicks as well as flight attempts efficiently.

The assortment at Nordhandel offers several variations yet always high and reliable quality.

ANTI-SPITTING HOODS AS INFECTION PROTECTION

When aggressive individuals are caught, spitting is no rarity. In case of illnesses and infections this can be an immense risk. A face mask can be helpful as spitting protection. However, in the case of especially renitent persons it slides of comparably quickly. 

Anti-spitting hoods present themselves as a more reliable alternative. Simple hoods that are pulled over the head without a flexible fixation around the neck already offer a good degree of protection. Through fasteners at the top of the head and around the neck according anti-spitting hoods are kept in the wanted position – without thereby restricting breathing, sight or hearing unduly.

STRAIGHT JACKET – FOR THE SAFETY IN SPECIAL CASES

In special cases, straight jackets have to be used during the transport of prisoners. Also known as protective jackets the safety element can prevent injuries of the wearer itself as well as other people involved in the prisoner transport. However, it is necessary to choose them carefully. Material, size and fasteners have to offer safety on the one hand. On the other hand, they have to be fitting.

The Nordhandel assortment offers a qualitatively high selection in this area as well.
