The “strangulation key”, a controversial police arrest technique, has been officially replaced by three new techniques, according to a letter from the boss of the national police dated Friday.

The abandonment of this technique was announced in January 2020 by the former Minister of the Interior Christophe Castaner, but still used for lack of a directive on new practices.
