CUFFSAFE will assist officers in the removal of handcuffs from detainees and making a very dangerous task safer for detainee and officer alike. CUFFSAFE reduces potential elbow strike, head butting and bites etc to the officer when performing mandatory search or 'pat down'.
CUFFSAFE can be installed next to the fingerprinting bay to assist in fingerprinting a prisoner by unlocking one hand at a time. If the prisoner/detainee becomes abusive take one step back and call for assistance. Detainee cannot go anywhere.
CUFFSAFE will assist officers when having to perform a mandatory search/ ‘pat down’ of a detainee within a police station or prison.
CUFFSAFE can be used as a temporary restraining device to secure detainees while waiting to be processed within a police station, charge room or holding dock.
Installed in a Courthouse, the CUFFSAFE device can be unobtrusive in a court room where a defendant may be cuffed by one hand and seated without being in shackles. This may also help to eliminate visual prejudice towards the defendant by the jury etc.
The CUFFSAFE device can also be used within:
- Public Hospitals for securing detainees requiring medical attention when affected by drugs.
- Correctional facilities state and federal.
- Customs/border patrol stations.
- Pre-trial detention centres.
- Mental Health facilities.
- Military Prisons.
Two recommended heights are:
- 1252mm/50″ has been identified as the best height to accommodate the majority of persons from western countries so as to enable the device to be used for persons cuffed to the front or rear. This allows a better line of sight for the officer to keep an eye on the person being detained and also puts the person handcuffed to the rear in a yielding position, off balance. Also helps prevent a safety issue to the officer by holding the detainees hands up at a high level helping to maintain control over the detainee.
- 1100mm/44″ is a designated machine for detainees handcuffed to the rear and communities with below average height.
By choice, the machines should be secured to a concrete type floor by way of 4 x stainless steel “Chem-bolts” with stainless steel washers and nuts. (These are studs that are placed inside a pre drilled hole in the concrete and a chemical is added that melts the concrete to the stud).
Yes, but clients will first have to supply a list of locations and number of the devices they want fitted to each location. We will advise of the cost after receiving that list depending upon distance, location and numbers etc.
No, however it is suggested that if one company purchases for example 20 machines, they have the same key coding for all of their machines. Key coding may be based on location, region, state or national level.
Freight is at cost. Usually by way of sea freight. We recommend having the machines shipped to one central point if they are to have their own union approved labour fit the machines or we can quote on fitting the machines to your facility.
They are individually wrapped and stacked on pallets. Approximately 10 units to a pallet.
