Hidden Handcuff Key

Attached are photographs of a wrist band (bracelet) which is being sold by flea markets along the grand strand.  You see many people wearing these as I guess they are popular right now.  Not all the bracelets have the handcuff keys in them.  However, all officers need to be aware of this so you can check prisoners when you place handcuffs on them.   If in doubt, remove the bracelet from the prisoner after placing handcuffs on them and turn in the bracelet to the booking officer when you arrive at the jail.  The keys are plastic so they will not show up on x-rays; however, the key did open a pair of our handcuffs.  With a little practice, one can be handcuffed and still access the key in the bracelet.  Information provided by Ken Defoor
