Wrap Shares New Body Cam Footage Demonstrating Successful Deployment of BolaWrap
June 28 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 June 3, 2022, two officers of the Northern York County
Regional Police Department in Pennsylvania responded to a domestic
dispute. When the officers arrived on-scene, the subject responded
with hostility and attempted to initiate a physical altercation.
After various threats and erratic behavior from the subject and
multiple requests by the officers for compliance, the officers were
able to coordinate a plan to use the BolaWrap to restrain the
subject.
The BolaWrap was deployed to the subject’s arms and immediately
redirected the subject’s attention and de-escalated the situation.
The officers were able to swiftly contain the subject with
handcuffs without the need for other tools or higher levels of
physical force. The subject was safely taken into custody and
transported to a nearby hospital for a mental health
evaluation.
“The BolaWrap once again proved to our officers that it is an
effective way to de-escalate volatile situations,” said Chief David
Lash of the Northern York County Regional Police Department. “In
this instance we had a man in crisis who was attempting to engage
officers in a fight. The officers on-scene were quickly able to
deploy the BolaWrap and take the subject into custody without the
use of any force. In fact, the male asks the officers ‘Did you
think they hurt? They didn’t hurt.’ Neither the male nor the
officers sustained any injuries, and we were able to get the man
the help he needed. There is not another tool or weapon that we
carry that would have allowed this situation to play out the way it
did. The device worked exactly as intended.”
“Northern York Police Department has truly exemplified proper
training and field use of the BolaWrap and their dedication to
force avoidance,” said Wrap CEO, TJ Kennedy. “We celebrate another
successful BolaWrap deployment that ends with everyone safe, and
the situation resolved.”
