Handcuffs

[HvyMetal]

Police offers need more than two pairs of handcuffs. Law Enforcement carries more than two pairs of handcuffs. I had a situation where three suspects needed to be arrested. I only had one pair. Maybe give the option in the trunk for a spare pair of handcuffs?
Thanks

The game gives you 3 pairs of cuffs. You are able to refill your tools (handcuffs and taser ammo) from the patrol vehicle trunk.

As long as you have a vehicle and are not on foot patrol -- you can "reload tools" at the trunk and get more. If you are on foot patrol...you are SOL. Dev/Rep on these forums previously said the PD stations are supposed to be able to reload your handcuffs too, but I've never gotten that to work. Maybe in the future.

When using all (3) pairs of cuffs, even if you go back to the vehicle trunk and (reload) it will "supposably" reload with additional (3) pairs of cuffs. All it does is give you (1) after (reload.)

Even if you call a transport. Theoretically, the cuffs are switched out and returned back to the arresting officer. If not, then the handcuffs can be picked up at the station where the suspect was transported to.

If you're on foot patrol, going in and out of the lobby of the police station seems to refill your gear. The new little smart car doesn't refill your handcuffs whether you go in the trunk or just get inside it, unfortunately, so I think going to the lobby of the police station is the only way to refill your handcuffs OTHER than waiting for the police arrest transport to come.

The police transports do sometimes get stuck or otherwise go brain dead, or perhaps you get too far from it when your arrest is picked up, so you better stay pretty close to your suspect to get refilled like that.
