Wrap Technologies (NASDAQ: WRAP) has developed a new operational doctrine designed to help law enforcement officers manage encounters when verbal de-escalation alone does not resolve a situation. The framework combines communication, recognition of resistance, tactical positioning, time and distance, and remote restraint using the company’s BolaWrap 150 device, which deploys a tether intended to restrain a person without electrical incapacitation or chemical irritants. The approach is designed to give officers an additional option in certain encounters, including behavioral and mental health emergencies, while emphasizing the use of the lowest reasonable level of response and continuous reassessment as circumstances change.
The announcement matters for Long Beach and surrounding communities because it points to a potential new tool and training standard for local law enforcement agencies grappling with how to safely resolve encounters involving individuals in crisis. Following an ATF ruling classifying the BolaWrap 150 as an instrument of restraint rather than a firearm or other weapon under federal law, Wrap has submitted its training curriculum for independent validation ahead of a potential application for California POST certification. If certification is obtained, the company plans to distribute standardized training through its WRAP Tactics digital learning platform, potentially supporting wider agency adoption and recurring training-related revenue. For departments in the Long Beach area, POST certification would signal that the curriculum meets state standards, which could influence procurement and deployment decisions.
The company’s broader public-safety portfolio includes the non-lethal BolaWrap 150 device, Wrap Reality immersive training platform, WrapVision body-worn camera system, WrapTactics training programs, and next-generation C-UAS solutions such as PAN-DA and the 1KC Kinetic Anti-Drone Cassette, all of which support the company’s mission to provide safer, scalable and cost-effective technologies for public safety, defense and critical infrastructure markets.
