Wrap Technologies (NASDAQ: WRAP) has been selected by WOFT Charities to provide training support for the WOFT Teacher Safety Training Program, which received a $475,000 appropriation in Florida's fiscal year 2026-27 state budget. This partnership underscores the growing importance of proactive safety measures in educational environments, as schools across the nation seek to better prepare staff for potential threats.
The program will focus on situational awareness, threat recognition, early intervention, de-escalation, and avoiding physical confrontation when possible. It will provide practical safety and preparedness training for teachers, administrators, and other school personnel, including real-world scenarios and practical self-defense instruction. This initiative reflects a broader trend in public safety towards non-lethal and preventative approaches, a niche that Wrap Technologies has been actively cultivating.
According to the company, the $475,000 appropriation was made to WOFT, with WRAP receiving a portion based on services provided. This should not be interpreted as a direct $475,000 award or future revenue to WRAP. However, the selection is a strategic win for the company, as it gains exclusive access to WOFT's training facility, which is being developed as a national flagship environment for integrated WRAP training. This facility could serve as a model for expanding WRAP's training programs beyond education into law enforcement, private security, military, and other professional safety environments, as well as for private citizens.
The company envisions eventually incorporating a digital training ecosystem that supports continuous learning, recurring proficiency, and certification. This would align with WRAP's existing offerings, such as the Wrap Reality immersive training platform, which provides first responders with realistic, interactive scenarios to enhance decision-making under stress. By extending these capabilities to educators, WRAP is positioning itself at the forefront of a growing market for comprehensive safety training solutions.
Wrap Technologies is known for its BolaWrap 150, a non-lethal restraint device that uses a multi-sensory distraction to create time and distance in potentially volatile situations. The device, which is used by over 1,000 agencies across the U.S. and in 60 countries, is not pain-based and does not shoot, strike, shock, or incapacitate. Instead, it helps officers manage non-compliant subjects before resorting to higher-force options, reducing the risk of injury to both officers and subjects. The training for BolaWrap is certified by the International Association of Directors of Law Enforcement Standards and Training (IADLEST), reinforcing the company's commitment to public safety through cutting-edge technology and expert training.
In addition to BolaWrap, WRAP's portfolio includes WrapVision, a body-worn camera and evidence management system, and next-generation counter-unmanned aerial systems (C-UAS) like PAN-DA and the 1KC Kinetic Anti-Drone Cassette. These technologies collectively support the company's mission to provide safer, scalable, and cost-effective solutions for public safety, defense, and critical infrastructure markets.
The selection for the Florida teacher safety program is a testament to WRAP's growing reputation in the safety and training sector. As schools increasingly prioritize preparedness, partnerships like this could become a template for other states looking to enhance safety measures. For Wrap Technologies, this move not only diversifies its revenue streams but also reinforces its role as a leader in innovative public safety solutions. The company's ability to adapt its training and technology to various environments, including education, positions it well for future growth in both public and private sectors.
