In which scenario would a bent wrist transporter be applied?

A bent wrist transporter is a technique used specifically in situations where a subject is resisting or attempting to escape. This method allows an officer to gain control over the subject by using leverage on the wrist joint, ensuring that the officer can maintain authority and safely transport the individual.

When a subject is trying to resist, the bent wrist transporter provides a tactical advantage. It enables the officer to effectively manage the situation while minimizing the risk of injury to both the officer and the subject. In contrast, if a subject complies willingly, remains calm and cooperative, or if the transport involves moving a compliant individual from one location to another, such techniques are generally unnecessary. In those situations, a more straightforward approach can be taken without the need for physical restraint.
