Wrap Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: WRAP), a global leader in innovative public safety technologies, has been selected by WOFT Charities (WOFT) to provide training support for the WOFT Teacher Safety Training Program in Florida. The program, which received a $475,000 appropriation in Florida's fiscal year 2026-27 state budget, aims to equip teachers, administrators, and other school personnel with practical safety and preparedness skills.
The training will focus on situational awareness, threat recognition, early intervention, de-escalation, and avoiding physical confrontation when possible. Real-world scenarios and practical self-defense instruction will be included to ensure participants are better prepared for potential emergencies. The appropriation was made to WOFT, with Wrap receiving a portion based on services provided; it should not be interpreted as a direct $475,000 award or guaranteed revenue for the company.
Wrap Technologies also has exclusive access to WOFT's training facility, which is being developed as a national flagship environment for integrated Wrap training. This partnership could serve as a model for expanding into other sectors, including law enforcement, private security, military, and professional safety environments, as well as private citizens. Eventually, the program may incorporate a digital training ecosystem to support continuous learning, recurring proficiency, and certification.
This initiative aligns with Wrap's broader mission to provide safer, scalable, and cost-effective technologies for public safety and defense markets. The company's portfolio includes the non-lethal BolaWrap 150 device, Wrap Reality immersive training platform, WrapVision body-worn camera system, WrapTactics training programs, and next-generation counter-unmanned aerial system (C-UAS) solutions. The BolaWrap 150, used by over 1,000 agencies in the U.S. and 60 countries, is a patented device that deploys a multi-sensory distraction and non-lethal restraint, reducing the risk of injury to officers, subjects, and communities. Its training is certified by the International Association of Directors of Law Enforcement Standards and Training (IADLEST).
The expansion into education represents a significant opportunity for Wrap to diversify its customer base and address the growing demand for non-lethal safety solutions beyond traditional law enforcement. By leveraging its expertise in situational awareness and de-escalation, the company can contribute to safer school environments, a concern for many communities nationwide.
The program's success could also pave the way for similar initiatives in other states, potentially increasing adoption of Wrap's training and technologies. As schools increasingly seek to enhance safety without militarizing campuses, this partnership offers a proactive approach to threat prevention.
Wrap Technologies' involvement in the Florida teacher safety program underscores its commitment to public safety through innovative training and technology. The exclusive access to a national flagship training facility positions the company to develop standardized safety training that could become a benchmark for other organizations.
