In the sequence of handcuffing steps, which step follows Search?

• A. Immobilize
• B. Handcuff
• C. Monitor
• D. Transport

Answer: (C)

The steps are arranged to maintain control and safety during an arrest: you secure the subject first, then you search for threats, and after that you monitor the subject to ensure they remain under control as you prepare to move toward transport. Monitoring at this point means keeping the subject under observation, ensuring hands stay visible, watching for any signs of resistance or distress, and being ready to respond if the situation changes. This serves as the safe bridge between completing the search and the next phase of movement, so the step that follows the search is monitoring. The other actions—immobilize and handcuff—are done earlier in the sequence to establish control, while transport comes after monitoring.
