Which form of handcuffing places the subject in a kneeling position?

• A. Standing
• B. Kneeling
• C. Seated
• D. Prone

Answer: (B)

Posture is determined by how handcuffs are applied. The kneeling form places the subject on their knees with hands cuffed behind the back, producing a kneeling posture. This position reduces mobility and helps the officer maintain control and visibility, unlike standing (upright), seated (on a chair), or prone (face-down) which create different postures and safety dynamics. So, kneeling handcuffing is the form that results in a kneeling position.
