The Valkyrie Link
Safer suspect transports, built by a cop who still runs calls.
The Valkyrie Link is a patent-pending restraint that clips to the handcuffs already on the person and stays installed in the vehicle. The Back Seat model attaches to the factory LATCH child-seat anchors. The Front Seat model mounts with three cam straps and a steel ring on the back of the seat. No tools. No drilling. No permanent modification. Once hooked in, it limits hand reach so a cuffed person is less able to unbuckle, reach a missed weapon or contraband, or assault the officer.
In use by departments. Rear-seat model $200. Front-seat model $225. Current time to ship is about 30 days.
✓ Registered vendor with the State of Indiana ✓ Made in the USA ✓ Built by a working officer
Secure
Stays in the car. Mount it once. It is there for the next transport.
Ease of Install
The Back Seat model clips to your factory LATCH anchors
with no drilling. The Front Seat model installs with three
cam straps and a steel ring on the back of the seat. Both
stay in the vehicle.
Adaptable
Both seats. Rear-seat model for a normal patrol car. Front-seat model if your agency transports up front.
Affordable
Priced for a small department. $200 rear, $225 front. Made in the USA. One-year limited warranty and a 30-day money-back guarantee.
What it does?
It clips to the cuffs, anchors to the factory LATCH points (Back Seat model) or to a steel ring on the back of the seat (Front Seat model), and uses a pull on the strap to bring the hands up along the back. The Berserker strap limits upper-body movement. A leg hobble is included. The seat belt stays on.
From officers who have been in it
"I got in the Valkyrie Link. There was no way I was getting out, and I could not reach my weapon." — Defensive Tactics Instructor, New Castle Police Department
"If I had a guy getting squirrely, I would put him in the back with one of these rather than transport him up front." — Officer at Sheridan PD who only transports in the front
