In Ireland they put both cuffs on one wrist. In USA they cuff both ankles. In UK, one cuff goes round the neck, the other on the one arm, (subject to social worker approval). In Saudi one cuff round the wrist, one round an ankle. In Iraq, they cuff both ankles, then shoot you in the head.

They usually attached the other cuff to the persons belt, behind them. If they don't have a belt on, most departments have a Sargent in the area and use the waist shackles which is a thick belt or chain that goes around the waist, and has a short handcuff attached to the each side of it. cant move you hand that way.

I don't think they do cuff them if they have to move. They make them walk with their arm behind their head.
When in the vehicle, they cuff them to the cage, or to the door handle.
I have an article blurb here indicating that policemen don't seem to know what to do either. I guess the odds of arresting a one-armed bandit are pretty slim that they have no contingency plan.
"J.P. Martel, handicapped Canadian injured during SWAT raid. Martel who has no left hand and suffers chronic pain from back injuries was arrested in spring, 1997 for cultivation of marijuana. On November 12, 1997 the police returned with SWAT team who threw a concussion grenade which hit Martel's leg. In the ensuing scuffle, he sustained further injuries to his back as police tried to hold him down, not being able to handcuff this one-armed man."

They may attach the other cuff to a belt loop or something. Or maybe another police officer will handcuff themselves to the prisoner.

One cuff on the wrist and the other cuff on the belt between two belt loops.

During the five or six times that I had to do this I always cuffed their good arm to the back belt loop. I did it far enough to the opposite side so that they could not exert force and rip the belt loop off. Once or twice I also added a set of leg shackles to the ankles.

A chain around the body and a single hand cuff attached to the chain.

The suspect would not be handcuffed to an officer. For the sole reason that if the suspect decides to kick off and your handcuffed to him your likely to suffer an injury if not break your arm as an officer. If a one armed person was kicking off it would likely be that he would simply be restrained using an arm lock or gooseneck until placed in a secure cell. Under extreme circumstances would he be cuffed to his belt. Hope that helps.

Believe it or not. A man with a prosthetic hand, arrived in the police charge room having been arrested. He was handcuffed. Suddenly, with his good hand, he removed the other one, swung it around his head, hitting one of the arresting officers in the face, breaking his teeth.
