Department personnel have a positive duty to restrain persons who pose a physical risk to themselves or others as a result of their violent or self-destructive behavior. Approved restraint devices may be employed to physically restrain those persons who clearly demonstrate violent or self-destructive behavior and fail to respond to reason. It is Department policy that all personnel shall exercise due care when applying restraint devices, taking into consideration the safety and health of the person being restrained, the personnel involved in the restraining process and the public. Notwithstanding any other sections of this manual, only Department-approved restraint equipment and Department-authorized methods shall be utilized to restrain, handcuff, hobble or employ the Total Appendage Restraint Procedure (TARP) on a person. Refer to section 3-01/110.21, Hobbling Defined; section 3-01/110.22, Total Appendage Restraint Procedure (TARP); and section 3-01/110.23, Handcuffing Prisoners.
