Why a knockdown is not enough
The cited guides distinguish the full cuff meter from ordinary damage. Knocking Michael down before the arrest conditions are met does not complete detention. Keep the player who will perform the interaction close enough to act.
Team planning suggestion: agree on who handles the final prompt before committing your available tools. That avoids several players assuming someone else is the officer.
Getting the right player into position
The police respawn guide explains the reported reinforcement route. If party members cannot join across platforms, resolve crossplay issues before attempting a coordinated run.
