Which step follows Handcuff?

Which step follows Handcuff?

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

Answer: (A)

After you restrain someone with handcuffs, the immediate priority is safety and security, which is achieved by searching the person for weapons or contraband. This step helps prevent any danger to you or others and ensures you don’t overlook items that could affect the arrest or later proceedings. Once the search is complete, you would monitor the person in custody and proceed to transport if needed. Immobilizing is already accomplished by the handcuffs, and transport typically comes after the search, not right after handcuffing.
