| Safety Alert: Hidden Handcuff Keys | |
| As shown in the top picture, the handcuff ring appears to be a regular wedding band. Yet, as seen in the bottom picture, the “key” is concealed within the palm. | |
Another method of concealing handcuff keys is shown in the picture at the right. In this instance, small keys are attached to coins by rivets. The key can be rotated and used as necessary. Both of the keys shown in this report are commercially available through various “Magic” supply stores.
Law Enforcement and Security Professionals should be mindful of the potential for suspects to break free of their restraints thereby placing Officers’ safety in jeopardy.
