i know 'esposa' translates to 'wife'.
my teacher said something about 'esposas' but 'wives' does not make sense. he was saying something about the police.

Esposas = Wives
Esposas = Handcuffs
That is the same word used in 2 different ways.

Las esposas = handcuffs.
It is probably derived from the fact that the two hands are joined together by "esposas".

Yes it means wives plural. For instance one could say, Las esposas de todos los hombres estan viviendo aqui. Translated this would mean, the wives of all the men are coming here.
Must be slang in regard to the police thing.

Esposas means "wives", but in the police sense, it also means "Handcuffs"... hmmm... I wonder if there's any similarity there? Wives= you're handcuffed? Just kidding.
