In 1780 the Hiatt handcuff was first manufactured as "Prisoners Handcuffs to the Trade." By the early 19th century, Hiatt products were used extensively throughout the countries under British influence and are still used by the Metropolitan Police Force of Greater London. Currently, Hiatt products are also used by many major departments throughout the United States.
The basic principles of handcuffing have not materially changed, however, designs have evolved dramatically to address an ever-increasing violent criminal element in society. Assaults on police officers and drug related violence have steadily grown in recent years, requiring handcuffs that can be applied with speed and confidence to minimize the risk of injury to both the law enforcement officer and the suspect. Hiatt continues to develop innovative products to support the men and women of law enforcement.
