Introduction

Celebrate National Handcuff Day on Feb. 20 and get ready to honor one of the earliest forms of restraint! This day commemorates the invention of handcuffs, which have been used as a form of law enforcement since at least the 5th century BC. Since then, handcuff designs have evolved over time to become more sophisticated and secure, but their purpose remains unchanged - to keep people safe by restricting their movement. So take some time out of your day to recognize this important tool and all those who use them!
