In which scenario is it acceptable to use Flexi cuffs?

Using Flexi cuffs is appropriate in situations where a suspect needs to be temporarily secured, particularly when quick and flexible restraint is necessary. This type of restraint is designed for short-term use, often during events like arrests or when a suspect is being moved from one location to another where traditional handcuffs may be impractical or too cumbersome. They provide a measure of control while being easy to apply or remove, making them suitable for situations where it's crucial to ensure safety without committing to long-term restraint.

In contrast, scenarios such as high-security prisons or standard transportation of inmates may require more robust and durable options for restraining individuals due to the increased risks associated with security and escape prevention. Additionally, using Flexi cuffs in all situations would not be appropriate, as there are specific circumstances where more secure or traditional methods of restraint are necessary to ensure the safety of officers, the public, and the individuals being restrained.
