Handcuffing a suspect should be done in a manner that is?

Comfortable
Restrictive
Safe and secure
Visible to the public

The correct answer is: Safe and secure

Handcuffing a suspect should be executed in a manner that is safe and secure to ensure the safety of both the officer and the suspect. Proper handcuffing techniques are essential to prevent injury, escape, or harm during the process. When handcuffs are applied correctly and securely, they allow the officer to maintain control over the suspect while minimizing the risk of the individual being able to free themselves or pose a threat. This approach prioritizes the safety of everyone involved, including bystanders, and ensures that the officer can effectively manage the situation without unnecessary escalation. While comfort and visibility might be considerations in certain contexts, they do not supersede the primary concern for safety and security in law enforcement procedures.
