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 supports responsible, measured response by providing officers with an additional non-lethal tool designed to reduce escalation and create opportunities for safer resolutions.
The UMBC deployment advances Wrap Technologies' 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 includes Wrap Reality, WrapTactics, WrapVision and other public safety technologies. The full press release is available at https://ibn.fm/YjUSY.
Wrap Technologies is a global leader in innovative public safety technologies and non-lethal tools. Its 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. These offerings support the company's mission to provide safer, scalable, and cost-effective technologies for public safety, defense, and critical infrastructure markets.
The BolaWrap 150 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. The device is not pain-based compliance; it does not shoot, strike, shock, or incapacitate. Instead, it helps officers strategically 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 Reality VR is a fully immersive training simulator to enhance decision-making under stress, providing first responders with realistic, interactive scenarios that reflect 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. The WrapVision camera, powered by IONODES, boasts streamlined cloud integration and final North American assembly, with a made-in-America roadmap projected for early 2026.
This deployment highlights the growing demand for non-lethal tools in campus settings, where officers often face non-criminal calls requiring de-escalation. By equipping campus safety personnel with BolaWrap and training, UMBC aims to enhance officer and community safety while reducing the potential for escalation. The expansion into higher education marks a significant milestone for Wrap Technologies as it diversifies its customer base beyond law enforcement.
