摘要

A handcuff shield includes first and second walls connected by an end wall to form a channel for receiving a pair of handcuffs. A slotted opening is formed in the first and second walls to receive a chain link or hinged for locking the handcuff shield to the handcuffs. When attached to the handcuffs, the end wall of the handcuff shield covers and prevents access to a ratchet mechanism of the handcuffs, and the first and second walls of the handcuff shield cover and prevent access to the keyhole of the handcuffs.
