Heimdall Equipment LLC is an Indiana company that designs and builds the Valkyrie Link, a vehicle transport system for law enforcement. The system mounts to the factory LATCH anchors already in most patrol vehicles and remains installed after the first fit. It does not require a cage or a body-shop modification. The Valkyrie Link is made for all uncaged vehicles and for caged vehicles with an unmodified back seat. Front-seat and rear-seat models are available.

Once a person is handcuffed and seated, the handcuff strap hooks onto the chain between the cuffs. The officer pulls the strap through a cam buckle to take up slack and limit how far the hands can move. A separate torso strap holds the upper body. The Beserker strap limits forward and back movement of the upper body. An ankle hobble is included for the legs when the situation calls for it. Each unit ships with the handcuff strap, the Beserker strap, and the ankle hobble.

Training is a 30- to 45-minute operator class, with a certificate of completion and a signed acknowledgment. The product was designed by an active Indiana officer. The originating department has adopted written policy for the system. The first paid order was five front-seat units to a local small-town department. Units are in service.

Heimdall Equipment is based in Indiana and schedules demonstrations on the department’s time.
