Wrap Shares Body Cam Footage of Successful Prevention of Escalation with BolaWrap 150 Deployment on a Call to a Subject with a Knife
| | TEMPE, Arizona – July 19, 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 the successful outcome from the deployment of a BolaWrap 150 remote restraint device.
On June 30, 2022, officers of the Avon Police Department in Colorado responded as a mutual aid assist to the Eagle County Sheriff's Office, an adjoining jurisdiction, to a report of a subject entering a gas station, armed with a knife, and stating that he was going to kill the clerk. The male subject then backed into another vehicle as he fled the scene in his vehicle. After a short search, Avon Police Officers located the subject parked on the shoulder of a roadway. The subject exited from his vehicle and refused to comply with officer commands, advancing in a threatening manner toward one of the responding officers.
Officers gave loud verbal commands to gain the subjects compliance. A second officer then approached the subject from behind and coordinated the safe deployment of a BolaWrap 150 device to detain the subject. When the subject did not respond to the verbal commands, the BolaWrap 150 was deployed to the subject’s torso, restricting the subject’s arms, and preventing further escalation.
The subject was startled by the deployment, allowing officers to take the subject into physical custody. Officers were able to safely secure the subject quickly in handcuffs without any injury or escalation of force.
