August 17 2021 - 10:35AM
Wrap Technologies, Inc. (the “Company” or “WRAP”) (Nasdaq:
WRAP), a global leader in innovative public safety
technologies and services, released new bodycam footage following a
successful BolaWrap deployment in Tempe, Arizona that assisted
officers to safely and humanely restrain a noncompliant individual
in a crisis.
On July 5, 2021, the Tempe Police Department responded to a
violent female who had struck a hotel employee with a flashlight
and refused to leave. Upon arrival, officers found the individual
was nonverbal and appeared to be in distress. The individual
refused to communicate with the police and could not be safely
approached as she continued to threaten officers with a glass
object in her hand.An officer on scene successfully deployed the
BolaWrap around the individual’s legs, restricting her movement and
allowing officers to approach and safely take her into custody
without injury. The individual was then transported to a local
hospital for evaluation.Tom Smith, CEO and President of WRAP,
commented, “The officers on the scene did an excellent job of
reading the situation and executing the proper deployment of the
BolaWrap. We continue to see the BolaWrap help officers safely
resolve high-pressure crisis situations.”The bodycam footage can be
viewed here.A virtual interview with Tempe Police Chief Jeffrey
Glover reviewing the bodycam footage can be viewed here.An earlier
bodycam video of the BolaWrap in use by Tempe PD was released in
June of this year and can be viewed here.
The BolaWrap is currently being tested and used by more than 570
agencies in the U.S. and 44 countries. Additional bodycam footage
of the BolaWrap in use can be viewed here.About
