Wrap Technologies Expands Pilot Program Due to High Demand from Law Enforcement Agencies

”In the last several weeks over 100 agencies, with thousands of sworn officers, have requested demonstrations, as awareness of our product has dramatically increased as a result of our marketing efforts and from media,” said David Norris, President of Wrap Technologies. ”We are making a strategic investment by expanding our agency pilot program from the original ten targeted agencies. We anticipate that this move will accelerate the adoption of BolaWrap 100 by agencies and help to position BolaWrap 100 as an important new non-lethal tool to engage noncompliant subjects, especially those in mental crisis.” The Company has been the subject of various media reports as a result of initial demonstrations of the BolaWrap 100 (some reports linked on the ”Media” tab of the Company website). The Company believes that the increasing worldwide interest is indicative of the need to fill a gap with respect to engaging with noncompliant subjects in a non-lethal and non-painful manner where higher level of force may not be warranted. The Company will be meeting with its customers and those expressing interest in the BolaWrap solution at the annual International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) event in Orlando, commencing October 6, 2018 (Booth #339). Over 15,000 public safety professionals are expected to attend this year’s event, featuring over 600 exhibitors. ”Commercialization of a new crime control product involves demonstration, in-house evaluation, training, policy development and field testing before adoption as a standard policing tool,” added Norris. ”We have already demonstrated the BolaWrap 100 to over 45 agencies with 25 already in various stages of testing. We are very encouraged by agency response to the product and their willingness to engage local media and community stakeholders in the process of adopting a new non-lethal tool for community policing.” For information on the Company please visit www.wraptechnologies.com.
