Wrap Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: WRAP), a provider of non-lethal public safety technologies, announced that Stark Security Inc., a Chicago-based protective services firm, has selected and will deploy the company's Wrap Reality virtual reality training platform across its operations and officer training programs. This deployment expands WRAP's presence in the private security market, with Stark using the immersive platform to train armed and unarmed officers in de-escalation, situational awareness, communication, and policy-based decision-making through realistic scenarios.
WRAP stated that the deployment supports its broader WrapShield platform strategy and reflects growing demand for immersive training solutions in the private security sector. The company also highlighted that ATF Ruling 2026-2, which classifies its BolaWrap 150 as an instrument of restraint rather than a firearm or weapon under federal law, could expand access to civilian and private security markets as it continues to broaden adoption of its training and non-lethal response technologies. The full press release is available at https://ibn.fm/J7Jev.
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 Reality VR is a fully immersive training simulator designed to enhance decision-making under stress. As a comprehensive public safety training platform, it provides first responders with realistic, interactive scenarios that reflect the evolving challenges of modern law enforcement. The platform offers a growing library of real-world situations to equip officers with the skills and confidence to navigate high-stakes encounters effectively.
The deployment with Stark Security underscores WRAP's strategic move to diversify its customer base beyond traditional law enforcement agencies. The private security sector represents a significant growth opportunity, particularly as companies seek advanced training tools to improve officer performance and reduce liability. The ATF ruling further strengthens WRAP's position by clarifying the regulatory status of the BolaWrap, potentially accelerating adoption in civilian contexts.
WRAP's complete public safety portfolio also includes the WrapVision body-worn camera system, WrapTactics training programs, and next-generation counter-unmanned aircraft systems (C-UAS) solutions like PAN-DA and the 1KC Kinetic Anti-Drone Cassette. These technologies support the company's mission to provide safer, scalable, and cost-effective solutions for public safety, defense, and critical infrastructure markets.
