Blue Training Cuff

Now your students can increase their handcuffing skills by getting in more reps than using regular cuffs by eliminating down time from accessing cuff keys, double locking and then unlocking after each repetition.

BTC has a custom designed Quick Release Tab (QRT) that allows the cuffs to be removed without a key and then immediately loaded for the next application. It is estimated that the learning of motor programs can be increased by 200%!

Some other training handcuffs have bulky “key/button/unlock” systems, which do not allow the trainee to completely close their handcuff pouch. Blue Training Cuff’s low-profile QRT enables the cuffs to be placed into a closed handcuff pouch on the user’s duty belt. This keeps them from falling out if the scenario is dynamic (CQB/Foot Pursuit/Takedown etc.).

BTC is coloured blue (LE/MIL recognized inert safe colour) which also minimizes the potential risk of students leaving the training environment with training cuffs which are silver/metallic.

It is also best practice to have dedicated training cuffs for the students to use instead of their issued duty handcuffs that might have residue of blood borne pathogens/bacteria or viruses from actual street use prior to the training day.

Cleaning and Maintenance of BTC

Prior to and after use, BTC should be inspected for proper function, ensuring there are no burrs or sharp edges, and wiped with a quality cleaning product (such as leading brand disinfectant cloth). After wipe down, let BTC air dry. An occasional application of lubricant into the hinge joints and base locking ratchet should ensure that BTC keeps operating smoothly.

*NOTE* Double Locking the handcuffs on an actual suspect/subject to prevent escape/injury or destruction of evidence is always recommended when it is safe to do so (i.e. subject isn’t still fighting, biting, etc.). On the non-QRT side, there is a 5 letter prompt CFT-DL that is added to remind students to “Check for Tightness and Double Lock” after applying real cuffs in real situations.
