Abstract
A restraint system for use in police vehicles. The restraint system includes an elongated bar that can be mounted in a horizontal orientation in an elevated position on the divider between the front interior of the vehicle and the rear interior of the vehicle. One or more chains are connected at a first end to the elongated bar and include a locking cuff on a second end thereof. In operation, the chain of a pair of handcuffs worn by a person being detained in the rear of the vehicle can be positioned within the locking cuff of the restraint system. This serves to further restrain the person being detained, and positions the person's hands in a raised position such that they are visible by the police officers within the front of the vehicle.
