Abstract: A hand held protective shield (FIG. 1) constructed of clear impact resistant plastic sheet material which is thermo-vacuum formed to provide a recess (15) to support the human forearm and provide rigidity to said shield. A handle (12) is mounted in said recess by a means which positions said handle perpendicular in relation to the surface of said shield. The positioning of said handle allows the operator (FIG. 3) to control said shield by applying a slight wrist moment (19) to said handle. This serves to secure said shield against the forearm while not being attached to the arm by any means. Said shield is then utilized for protection while securing a handcuffed prisoner in a vehicle seat belt.
