Police handcuffing policy demonstrated at South Salt Lake Civilian Review Board meeting
Summary
Sgt. Nathan McDonald reviewed the South Salt Lake Police Department handcuffing policy and demonstrated technique with Community Outreach Specialist Shaun Ward on Feb. 2, 2026. The board observed as part of ongoing oversight and training.
At its Feb. 2, 2026 meeting, the South Salt Lake Civilian Review Board heard a presentation and live demonstration on the South Salt Lake Police Department's handcuffing policy.
Sgt. Nathan McDonald, identified in the meeting roster as representing the SSLPD, reviewed the department's policy on handcuffing and demonstrated proper technique. The board was assisted by Shaun Ward, the department's Community Outreach Specialist, who participated in the demonstration. The training was listed on the agenda as "Basic Handcuffing Technique."
Board members observed the demonstration as part of their oversight duties; Vice-Chair Kevin Miller later reminded members about completing required ride-alongs, a separate oversight activity. The training provided the board a practical reference for evaluating complaints or incidents that include handcuffing as a factor.
The board did not take formal action on the training itself; the presentation was recorded in the meeting minutes and will be part of the CRB's record for future reference.
