¶ Handcuffs UPDATED!
Handcuffs are a non-lethal tool featured in Emergency Hamburg, exclusively available to police officers.
They were initially introduced within the Beta Release 0.5.0 Update in May 2022.
¶
Police officers can use the handcuffs to detain wanted players within a specific range, and transport them to jail.
To use the handcuffs, officers must:
- approach a wanted player within ~ 7 studs
- hold E for approximately 4 seconds to detain the suspect
- once detained, the player will be unable to move or interact
¶ Mechanics NEW!
Police officers now receive 50% of the usual XP upon detaining a suspect, with the remaining 50% awarded once the criminal is successfully arrested at the prison.
| Wanted Level | XP Received | |
|---|---|---|
| Detain |  |

i.e fully arresting a 5 star player would earn the officer 60 XP
¶ Detainment NEW!
Police officers now have two options when they cuff a wanted player:
-
Detain
the player will be unable to sprint, equip any items, or interact with anything -
Release
the player will be fully released
If an officer, who is holding a cuffed suspect, equips another item, is ragdolled, or is killed, the wanted player will now become detained, rather than being released; as was the case in previous versions.
¶ Downed Players NEW!
As of the Version 3.10.0 in April 2025, officers can now cuff downed wanted players. If the player is been revived by a medic, they will be automatically enter the detained state, where they are unable to sprint, or equip any items.
However, if the wanted player respawns, they will be fully released.
¶ Additional Features UPDATED!
-
Nearby officers will now receive shared XP when a criminal is cuffed, preventing people from 'stealing arrests'
-
Officers can now place detained suspects into locked vehicles, which was not previously possible
