Wrap Technologies Hosted by Brooklyn Borough President Eric L. Adams
The demonstration was held Thursday at a Borough Hall Courtroom. BP Adams, a retired captain of the NYPD, focused his remarks on the challenges of responding to emotionally disturbed person (EDP) incidents and the use of BolaWrap 100 restraint early in the use of force continuum. A copy of the press release on the event issued by BP Adams titled “BP Adams Demonstrates BolaWrap, Innovative Policing Device To Humanely Subdue Emotionally Disturbed Individuals, And Urges NYPD To Pilot The Technology” can be accessed by clicking on the press release title. A full video on the event produced by BP Adams office is also available (Video Link). The demonstration and press conference were preceded by a product introduction and demonstration held Wednesday for leaders of NYPD. According to NYPD numbers released last year, the department responds to nearly 150,000 emergency calls every year for service involving a person in mental crisis. The hand-held BolaWrap 100 was developed 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. “BP Adams has a unique perspective on EDP incidents as a result of his police experience and now his representation of the Brooklyn community,” said David Norris, President of Wrap Technologies. “He clearly and forcibly articulated the needs and benefits of early pain-free engagement of persons in mental crisis. We look forward to working with BP Adams and NYPD to explore the use of BolaWrap 100 in NYC to address crisis intervention incidents.” For information on the Company please visit www.wraptechnologies.com.
