I was talking to a few other deputies and i was really surprised to found out very few keep a hidden cuff key. I thought it was rather common. SO how many of you hide a cuff key on your uniform? In your boot?keeper? etc? I have one behind the top lace of my boot and one behind a keeper. Just curious how common it is. J |
And with people posting this on the Internet for all the "Turds" to learn. Yes.. Bad guys do this too. |
Yes, but with it out in the open, hopefully we all learn of the "tricks" and do careful searches of our prisoners. On that note, I'll give you this one. We had a guy with a razor hidden in the flap of his jeans that covers the zipper. He just sliced one side open and slid the razor in. Metal detector went over it and buzzed like it was his zipper. Luckily someone thought to investigate the frayed section and found the razor. |
Striker: Somebody (ZAK maybe?) makes one that is made to slide over the female half of the snaps on the inside of a keeper. It doesn't show from the outside, except for a small part of the double-lock pin. And I think Safariland still makes the Hidden Keyper with the cuff key that swivels out from inside the keeper. If you need the spare key because you're cuffed in the back, can you get to the key on the boot lace? I've never tried that way, but it sounds like a good idea.... |
actually it's easy to access if you are on your knees. It's a lot easier since my boots have side zippers. Just untie the lace, unzip the boot and out she comes.I've practiced several times and it's not that hard. J |
