Wrap Technologies, Inc. (the “Company” or “Wrap”) (Nasdaq: WRTC) reported a successful deployment of the BolaWrap by LaGrange Police Department in Georgia.

Company executives will be hosting a webcast this afternoon at 4:30 p.m. ET to review the bodycam footage and discuss field uses of BolaWrap. To attend the webcast, please register here.

“After seeing the BolaWrap demonstration in-person, we knew this device could save lives,” said Chief Lou Dekmar, Chief of Police of LaGrange Police Department and former president of the International Association of Chiefs of Police. “Mental health training has always been a priority of ours, and the BolaWrap provides our officers a humane way to deal with persons in crisis. We are very pleased with our officer’s application of the device in the field.”

Mike Rothans, Chief Strategy Officer at Wrap Technologies, commented, “Chief Dekmar was an early adopter of the BolaWrap Remote Restraint device. He, like so many police executives after him, saw the need for this device to help de-escalate potentially violent encounters with people in crisis. We are seeing incidents like this one in LaGrange playing out across the United States and are proud to have developed a tool that reduces the risk of injuries to officers and subjects.”
