A security cuff comprising:
- a Global Positioning System (GPS) system, the GPS system configured to provide a geographic location of a user wearing the security cuff;
- a double-locking restraint system, the double-locking restraint system comprising a first lock and a second lock;
- wherein one of the first lock and the second lock operates as a secondary locking system, which allows the other one of the first lock and the second lock to operate as a primary locking system that allows the security cuff to be opened;
- a pair of handcuffs, wherein the first lock is disposed on a first handcuff of the pair of handcuffs, and the second lock is disposed on a second handcuff of the pair of handcuffs;
- wherein the first handcuff comprises a first locking element and the second handcuff comprises a second locking element, and each of the first handcuff and the second handcuff comprise a respective double-strand part and a respective single-strand part coupled together by a respective pivot;
- a coupler for coupling the first handcuff and the second handcuff together;
- a first set of ratchet teeth, the first set of ratchet teeth formed to matingly engage with the first locking element, and wherein the respective single-strand part can rotate the first set of ratchet teeth via the respective pivot toward the first locking element;
- and
- a second set of ratchet teeth, the second of ratchet teeth formed to matingly engage with the second locking element, and wherein the respective single-strand part can rotate the second set of ratchet teeth via the respective pivot toward the second locking element.

- a Global Positioning System (GPS) system, the GPS system configured to provide a geographic location of a user wearing the security cuff;
- a double-locking restraint system, the double-locking restraint system further comprising:
- a first lock comprising a first combination lock and a first locking spring;
- a second lock comprising a second combination lock and a second locking spring;
- a pair of handcuffs, wherein the first lock is disposed on a first handcuff of the pair of handcuffs, and the second lock is disposed on a second handcuff of the pair of handcuffs, wherein the first handcuff comprises a first locking element and a first base, and the second handcuff comprises a second locking element and a second base, and each of the first handcuff and the second handcuff comprise a respective double-strand part and a respective single-strand part coupled together by a respective pivot, and the first lock being embedded in the first base, and the second lock being embedded in the second base of the second handcuff;
- a coupler for coupling the first handcuff and the second handcuff together;
- a first set of ratchet teeth, the first set of ratchet teeth formed to matingly engage with the first locking element, and wherein the respective single-strand part can rotate the first set of ratchet teeth via the respective pivot toward the first locking element;
- a second set of ratchet teeth, the second of ratchet teeth formed to matingly engage with the second locking element, and wherein the respective single-strand part can rotate the second set of ratchet teeth via the respective pivot toward the second locking element;
- wherein the first locking spring, in a locked arrangement of the first lock, continuously biases the first locking element in a direction toward the first set of ratchet teeth, and the second locking spring, in a locked arrangement of the second lock, continuously biases the second locking element in a direction toward the second set of ratchet teeth;
- and
- wherein one of the first lock and the second lock operates as a secondary locking system, which allows the other one of the first lock and the second lock to operate as a primary locking system that allows the security cuff to be opened, and the first combination lock and the second combination lock are configured to unlock when a respective sequence of inputs are provided thereto.
