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.
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. 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 also includes the Wrap Reality immersive training platform, which provides first responders with realistic, interactive scenarios to enhance decision-making under stress. The WrapVision body-worn camera system, powered by IONODES, captures, stores, and manages digital evidence with streamlined cloud integration and a made-in-America roadmap projected for early 2026.
The UMBC deployment underscores the growing demand for non-lethal tools and techniques to create time, distance, and tactical advantage in non-criminal calls. By expanding into higher education, Wrap Technologies is addressing the complex, modern-day challenges facing public safety organizations across various sectors. The company's mission is to provide safer, scalable, and cost-effective technologies for public safety, defense, and critical infrastructure markets.
