Wrap Technologies Builds Momentum as US Law Enforcement Agencies Embrace Innovative BolaWrap Restraint Solution
“The momentum we’re seeing for our solutions developed with a no-harm guiding principle is a reflection of the recognition by agencies that a majority of law enforcement encounters can be resolved safely and effectively without the use of painful or potentially lethal force,” said Kevin Mullins, CEO of Wrap Technologies. “We are thrilled to see such growth in demand for our BolaWrap solution, which demonstrates the effectiveness of our product in the field.”
Wrap Technologies continues to experience strong market growth with the addition of 31 new agencies purchasing Wrap solutions in May alone. Over the past four months, the Company has seen a remarkable increase of almost 90% in new agencies purchasing Wrap Technologies solutions compared to the previous four-month period. These numbers reflect the increasing recognition among law enforcement agencies of the importance of mitigating the risk of injuries and enhancing public safety. By equipping their officers with transformative solutions that prioritize preventing escalation and minimizing the use of painful or injury-inducing techniques, agencies are taking proactive measures to create safer environments.
“Our BolaWrap solution enables officers to prevent escalation and more quickly handle situations in a manner that safeguards all those involved,” says Mullins. “It’s a win for law enforcement agencies as well as the communities they serve.”
