What is your thoughts about having safety teams members, with a policy in place and after proper training, carry handcuffs. I'm a retired law enforcement officer and a now a reserve deputy with over 50 years of experience. I know how useful handcuffs are in using force when force is being met. I'm talking about the suspect has already assaulted someone, not a belligerent or uncooperative subject.

I don't advocate for it. What I'm worried about is the massive amount of training that goes into it. You are essentially detaining someone against their will and if they are wrong, it is false imprisonment and could be kidnapping depending on the state. You'd have to train them on proper use of handcuffs and then go into laws of arrest with continual update training. I'd let it go. It's easy for you and I with our experience, not so much for those without our training.
