TEMPE, Arizona – January 11, 2022– Wrap Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: WRAP) (the “Company”), a global leader in innovative public safety technologies and services, today shared new agency body cam footage demonstrating a successful outcome from the simultaneous deployment of two BolaWrap® Remote Restraint devices.
On December 22, 2021, two officers of the Glenwood Springs Police Department in Colorado responded to a subject acting erratically, screaming, and disrupting holiday shoppers by tearing down holiday lights and displays in the town center. The subject was noncompliant to officer commands and led a foot pursuit before the officers on-scene were able to coordinate a deployment. The first wrap was deployed to the subject’s lower legs and an immediate second deployment was delivered to the mid-body, restraining the subject’s arms. The officers were then able to safely take the subject into custody without injury for all involved.
“We always encourage the use of the BolaWrap early in contact, so that we don’t have to use higher applications of force,” said Chief Joseph Deras of Glenwood Springs Police Department. “The comments made by the subject in this situation were consistent with higher levels of violence, and I think this was a situation that could have quickly escalated. The officers noted in the criminal report that they would have been forced into a physical confrontation – a Taser, a police baton, or an impact weapon – without this technology. The BolaWrap minimized their exposure for injury to themselves, and then of course to the subject, which is always a benefit for everyone involved.”
