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 aims 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, according to the company.
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 noted its broader Non-Lethal Response ecosystem also includes Wrap Reality, WrapTactics, WrapVision and other public safety technologies.
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.
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. It is not pain-based compliance; it does not shoot, strike, shock, or incapacitate, but instead 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).
WrapReality VR is a fully immersive training simulator to enhance decision-making under stress, providing first responders with realistic, interactive scenarios. WrapVision is an all-new body-worn camera and evidence management system built for efficiency, capturing, storing, and helping manage digital evidence. The WrapVision camera, powered by IONODES, boasts streamlined cloud integration and final North American assembly, with a critical made-in-America roadmap projected for early 2026.
The expansion into campus safety comes amid growing demand for non-lethal tools and techniques to create time, distance and tactical advantage in non-criminal calls. This deployment underscores the increasing adoption of such technologies in educational settings, potentially impacting campus safety protocols and reducing the risk of injury to both officers and subjects.
