Wrap Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: WRAP), a provider of non-lethal response technologies and public safety solutions, has appointed former New York City Police Department Deputy Commissioner Edward Delatorre Jr. to its Board of Directors, effective October 20, 2026. The appointment, announced by NEWMEDIAWIRE, brings to the company a leader whose signature achievement was turning a single overdose-reversal tool into standard patrol equipment across the nation's largest police force.
Delatorre helped introduce Narcan into NYPD patrol operations, guiding the program from a Staten Island pilot to citywide adoption and later sharing the model with departments nationally and internationally. That trajectory matters because it demonstrates how a life-saving product becomes routine: not through a single purchase, but through the slower work of building training, policy, and logistics around it. For Wrap Technologies, the parallel is explicit. The company frames its own mission as making Non-Lethal Response technology, training, and policy a practical, repeatable capability that agencies can adopt and sustain.
The stakes for investors and the broader public-safety market are significant. Police agencies have faced sustained pressure to expand the tools available to officers before situations escalate, and a board member who has already navigated a citywide rollout could help Wrap translate its products into durable, department-wide programs rather than one-off deployments. The company's shares trade under the ticker WRAP, and its corporate profile is detailed at Wrap Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: WRAP).
In the announcement, Wrap Technologies appointed Delatorre to the board effective October 20, 2026, a date that places the appointment ahead of the company's coming fiscal year and any related strategic planning. The full account of the Narcan rollout and Delatorre's role is available in the original release, and readers can Read More about how the pilot became a citywide standard.
The appointment carries no guarantee of results. Wrap Technologies noted that statements about product adoption, strategy, board contributions, and market opportunities are forward-looking and subject to risks and uncertainties, and that actual results may differ materially.

Still, the hire signals that Wrap is betting on operational experience, not just product specs, as the route to wider adoption of non-lethal tools in American policing.
