Leg Irons

The number one skill of any military personnel, law enforcement officer, or security guard is to always remain vigilant. It is a skill to deal with any situation at a moment’s notice. But even the best of us can’t always remain vigilant, presenting an opportunity to those with devious schemes.

The best way to overcome this is by using restraints to prevent the suspect from having any. A good restraint proves to be a great partner for all law enforcement forces once the problematic situation is under control.

Among these, leg iron is one of the best types of restraint as it eliminates all kinds of escape possibilities. Typically used when the suspect is expected to try escaping or is too heinous to be left alone without any preventative measures.

Why Leg Iron:

Leg irons, more commonly known as leg shackles or leg cuffs, have a long history of being the most effective means of preventing a criminal from escaping. However, that’s not all they are used for, they are also used to ensure both the safety of the officer as well as the detainee.

A good leg iron highly restricts the mobility of the criminal, leaving no chance of outrunning the law enforcement. That is also why they are essential when transferring criminals from one place to another. Eliminating all escape opportunities due to a lapse in the vigilance of the working officer.

Why our Leg irons:

At STL Tactical, we provide only the best products that are field-tested on all aspects to prevent landing you in any embarrassing or life-threatening situations. The aspects we take into account are:

Regulatory compliance:

The use of leg cuffs is highly regulated and falls under excessive use.  They are only allowed under extreme conditions, like when transporting criminals, restraining people with high violence history, or preventing people from self-injury.  Our leg cuffs comply with regulatory guidelines to avoid any hassle.

User friendly:

Our leg shackles feature user-friendly locking mechanisms that officers can swiftly operate, even in high-pressure situations. This ensures that you can rely on our products when they matter most.

Safety:

Safety is our top priority. That’s why our leg shackles come equipped with double-locking mechanisms, preventing accidental releases and tampering. You can trust that our shackles will keep the officers and the detainees safe and secure.
