New Body Cam Footage Presents Successful Use of BolaWrap in Georgia to Help De-escalate Crisis Situation
September 14 2022 - 9:05AM
Wrap Technologies,
Inc. (Nasdaq:
WRAP) (the “Company”), a global leader in
innovative public safety technologies and services, today shared
new agency body cam footage demonstrating another successful
outcome from the deployment of the BolaWrap® Remote Restraint
device.
On September 4, 2022, officers of the LaGrange Police Department
in Georgia responded to a call of a man acting erratic in the area
while operating a vehicle. When the officers arrived on-scene, it
was determined that he was under the influence of drugs. The
subject was noncompliant and attempting to walk away from the
officer’s commands. The BolaWrap was deployed to the subject’s legs
and immediately changed the subject’s behavior and de-escalated the
situation.
“The use of the BolaWrap early on in this
situation resulted in our officers being able to take this subject
into custody without force which is exactly what the device is
intended to do,” said Lt. Eric Lohr from LaGrange Police
Department.
"The officers on the scene did a great job of reading the
situation and executing the proper deployment of
the BolaWrap," said Wrap CEO, TJ Kennedy. “The trained
officers of the LaGrange Police Department were able to take a
chaotic situation and de-escalate the situation by using the
BolaWrap. Each time we see another successful field use, we are
encouraged by the real-world evidence that supports our mission to
help save lives and careers.”
