Indianapolis Metro Police Department Successfully Deploys BolaWrap® Safely Restraining Subject in Crisis
November 08 2021 - 9:42AM
Wrap Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: WRAP) (the
“Company”), a global leader in innovative public safety
technologies and services, announced the release of a new bodycam
footage of a successful deployment of the BolaWrap device in
Indianapolis, Indiana. Officers responding to the call were able to
safely restrain a noncompliant subject in crisis.
On October 24th, 2021, Indianapolis Metro Police Department
(IMPD) officers responded to a report of a subject lying in the
street, calling out for help. Once on scene, officers observed the
subject’s erratic behavior and assessed the situation as too
volatile to attempt a physical approach to restraint. IMPD officers
used the BolaWrap to distract and immobilize the subject by
wrapping their lower legs. As a result, officers were able to
safely approach and place the subject into handcuffs without force
or injury. This is the second deployment of the BolaWrap by the
IMPD.
The IMPD released the bodycam footage as part of their Sworn to
Serve Bodycam Series.
President and CEO of WRAP, Tom Smith, recently discussed the
incident with the deploying officer, Officer Vincent Marshall of
IMPD. In this, Smith commended the IMPD for the clear communication
and planning that led to the successful use of the BolaWrap: “That
is the intent we focus on; that early intervention to use the
BolaWrap to prevent escalation.”
