GERMAN POLICE RESTRAINING DEVICE
Click on the pic for a larger view.
This was used by the German police - unknown whether it is currently in use.
It's known as a come-along - the officer wraps it around the wrist or arm of the person and tightens it.
I was told that one of these is on display at the police museum in Hamburg.
I have many other photos of German police insignia (and 2 different sets of handcuffs) in my album, GERMANY, and a link to that is to the right of this text.
