A flexible braid of a soft, strong material, such as a flat braided nylon, utilized to engage a locking block which permits the braided material to pass freely in one direction, but which prevents movement of the material in an opposite direction. In this manner the braided material, which is formed in an endless loop, may be placed about the extremities of a person whose movement is sought to be controlled or restrained, and the loop tightened. The flexible material will tightly encircle the extremities sufficient to control or restrain their movement, but will not cut or gouge the person being restrained unless such person attempts to remove the restraining device. Because of the lightweight and inexpensive nature of the restraining device a law enforcement officer can comfortably and conveniently carry a number of these devices when on duty to facilitate arrests and control of multiple offenders.
