Vancouver police release revised handcuffing policy

April 8, 2023

Vancouver police have released a new policy to change the process of handcuffing people.

According to police, the new policy will see police officers follow "strategic improvements" when it comes to using handcuffs.

Vancouver police officers will now have to consider if handcuffs are appropriate given the circumstances of the ongoing incident and will have to take into account the suspect's age, disabilities, medical condition, injuries, size and ethnicity.
