Wrap Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: WRAP) announced that the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) has purchased BolaWrap devices and Non-Lethal Response training as part of its initial deployment of non-lethal capabilities for campus safety and security. The deployment is intended to support responsible, measured response by providing officers with an additional non-lethal tool designed to help reduce escalation and create opportunities for safer resolutions.
This move advances Wrap's strategy to expand adoption of its public safety portfolio beyond traditional municipal law enforcement into markets including higher education, healthcare, transportation, critical infrastructure, and security. The company's broader Non-Lethal Response ecosystem also includes Wrap Reality, WrapTactics, WrapVision, and other public safety technologies. For more details, see the full press release here.
The BolaWrap 150 device incorporates a multi-sensory distraction of sight and sound as a first response, followed by a non-lethal restraint if further escalation is required. This approach reduces the risk of injury to officers, subjects, and the community. Unlike pain-based compliance tools, the BolaWrap does not shoot, strike, shock, or incapacitate; instead, it helps officers operate pre-escalation on the force continuum. Used by over 1,000 agencies across the U.S. and in 60 countries, BolaWrap is backed by training certified by the International Association of Directors of Law Enforcement Standards and Training (IADLEST).
Wrap's complete public safety portfolio includes the non-lethal BolaWrap 150 device, Wrap Reality immersive training platform, WrapVision body-worn camera system, WrapTactics training programs, and next-generation C-UAS solutions like PAN-DA and the 1KC Kinetic Anti-Drone Cassette. WrapReality VR is a fully immersive training simulator that provides first responders with realistic, interactive scenarios reflecting the evolving challenges of modern law enforcement. WrapVision is an all-new body-worn camera and evidence management system built for efficiency, security, and transparency, with a made-in-America roadmap projected for early 2026.
