September 09 2021 - 12:35PM
Wrap Technologies, Inc. (the “Company” or “WRAP”) (Nasdaq:
WRAP), a global leader in innovative public safety
technologies and services, today announced Genova, Italy is
launching a field trial of the BolaWrap. This announcement follows
the Company’s June demonstrations in Italy through its established
distributor Defconservices, as was previously announced here.
Genova is Italy’s sixth largest city with a population of
560,000. Its Police Department is the first Italian agency to start
to deploy BolaWrap devices in the field.
The police department in Genova held an event on 6th September
2021 demonstrating the BolaWrap that can be viewed here. The event
was attended by senior officials from an array of Italian agencies
along with local and national media. Gianluca Viale - Genova City
Municipal Councillor for Safety, and Gianluca Giurato - Genova
Chief of Police, stated: "The objective of starting the
in-field tests is for the ultimate adoption of this new tool,
already in use in the United States. The purpose of this
operational period is to understand if it works here and if it
serves the needs of proportional intervention." (Giorgio Viale,
Municipal Councillor for Safety)
The Commander of the Local Police of Genova; Gianluca Giurato
underlined, "It is not a weapon, but an extra resource for our
security operators. It is quite clear that our agents facing
complex scenarios would benefit from more suitable tools
for protection, whether it be their own or others. This new
technology is an original system with a very low risk of injury and
will help us remotely restrain potentially dangerous subjects
safely."
“Our international distributors continue to demonstrate their
excellent ability to drive awareness and adoption of the BolaWrap
device," said Jags Gill, WRAP VP of International Sales. “Our
distributors cover more than 40 countries and are working
tirelessly with the relevant authorities to classify, demonstrate,
and place BolaWraps with leading law enforcement and military
officials who can most benefit.
“Danila Maffei of distributor Defconservices led this test and
evaluation effort in Genova. We look forward to rapid adoption of
the BolaWrap throughout Italy and rapid global success.”
