Which statement describes the escort procedure's grip method?

• A. Using C-clamp
• B. Verbal commands only
• C. A two-handed choke
• D. A leg sweep

Answer: (A)

During an escort, the grip method is all about maintaining controlled, safe contact with the subject while you’re guiding and preparing to handcuff. The C-clamp grip secures the subject’s arm by wrapping around the forearm and wrist in a firm, structured hold that stays close to your body. This creates a stable leverage point, making it harder for the person to twist away or break contact, and it lets you move with them in a controlled, balanced way. It also keeps your own arm protected and positions you to quickly access handcuffs when needed. Verbal commands alone can fail if the subject resists, while high-risk techniques like a choke or a leg sweep are dangerous and inappropriate for an escort.
