Washington, D.C. Area Officers Effectively Deploy BolaWrap® to Help Safely End Encounter
September 14 2021 - 11:28AM
Wrap Technologies, Inc. (the “Company” or “WRAP”) (Nasdaq:
WRAP), a global leader in innovative public safety
technologies and services, released new bodycam footage of a
successful BolaWrap deployment in Bladensburg, Maryland.
On June 13, 2021, Bladensburg Police Department responded to a
call from a mentally ill subject claiming that 12 people had broken
into his home. Upon arrival, officers found that the subject’s
claim was untrue, and his mother told the responding officers that
the subject was having a psychiatric episode. The officers decided
to take the subject to a hospital for an emergency evaluation, but
the subject attempted to flee, posing a risk to himself and the
officers. The officers deployed the BolaWrap, successfully wrapping
the subject’s legs and enabling them to safely place him in
handcuffs and into an ambulance to get help without injury or
force.“This is an excellent display of the use of the BolaWrap
remote restraint device,” said Chief Tyron Collington of
Bladensburg PD. “The person was in need of mental help, and
officers displayed impeccable skills and training that prevented
injuries to everyone. Thanks to the BolaWrap, we had a successful
conclusion to this incident.” The bodycam footage can be viewed
here.
In January 2021, Bladensburg PD shared an image of their
officers carrying the BolaWrap to help protect the presidential
inauguration at Capitol Hill.
