LOS ANGELES, CA - Wrap Technologies (NASDAQ: WRAP) has been selected by WOFT Charities ("WOFT") to provide training support for the WOFT Teacher Safety Training Program, which received a $475,000 appropriation in Florida's fiscal year 2026-27 state budget. This initiative aims to equip teachers, administrators, and other school personnel with practical safety and preparedness training, including situational awareness, threat recognition, early intervention, de-escalation, and avoiding physical confrontation when possible.
The program will offer real-world scenarios and practical self-defense instruction, addressing the growing need for school safety measures. The $475,000 appropriation was made to WOFT, with WRAP receiving a portion based on services provided. This should not be interpreted as a direct $475,000 award or future revenue to WRAP. However, WRAP also has exclusive access to WOFT's training facility, which is being developed as a national flagship environment for integrated WRAP training.
This collaboration could have significant implications for the public safety industry. WRAP believes the model could expand beyond education into law enforcement, private security, military, and other professional safety environments, as well as private citizens. The training could eventually incorporate a digital training ecosystem supporting continuous learning, recurring proficiency, and certification.
Wrap Technologies is known for its innovative public safety technologies, including the non-lethal BolaWrap 150 device, which is designed to provide law enforcement with a safer choice for managing non-compliant subjects. The BolaWrap 150 deploys a multi-sensory distraction and a non-lethal restraint, reducing the risk of injury to officers, subjects, and the community. It is used by over 1,000 agencies across the U.S. and in 60 countries.
In addition to the BolaWrap, WRAP offers a comprehensive portfolio including the Wrap Reality immersive training platform, WrapVision body-worn camera system, WrapTactics training programs, and next-generation counter-UAS solutions. The Wrap Reality VR training simulator enhances decision-making under stress, providing first responders with realistic, interactive scenarios. WrapVision, powered by IONODES, offers efficient evidence management with a made-in-America roadmap projected for early 2026.
The selection of WRAP to support this teacher safety program highlights the increasing importance of non-lethal tools and training in various environments. By focusing on de-escalation and conflict avoidance, this initiative could set a precedent for how safety training is conducted in schools and beyond. The integration of WRAP's training methods may lead to safer outcomes for both educators and students, and potentially influence broader public safety practices.
