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. The 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 said the deployment supports its broader WrapShield platform strategy and reflects growing demand for immersive training solutions in the private security sector. The company added 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.

Wrap Technologies is a global leader in innovative public safety technologies and non-lethal tools, delivering cutting-edge technology to address complex challenges facing public safety organizations. 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, all supporting the company's mission to provide safer, scalable, and cost-effective technologies for public safety, defense, and critical infrastructure markets.
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, reducing 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 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).
The Wrap Reality VR training simulator provides first responders with realistic, interactive scenarios that reflect the evolving challenges of modern law enforcement. By offering a growing library of real-world situations, it equips officers with the skills and confidence to navigate high-stakes encounters effectively, leading to safer outcomes for both responders and communities. The WrapVision body-worn camera and evidence management system, powered by IONODES, boasts streamlined cloud integration and final North American assembly, with a critical made-in-America roadmap projected for early 2026, helping ensure data integrity and eliminating concerns over unauthorized access or foreign surveillance risks.
This expansion into the private security market through Stark Security's adoption of the Wrap Reality platform signals growing demand for non-lethal training solutions. The ATF ruling further opens doors for civilian and private security applications, potentially broadening the market for Wrap's technologies beyond traditional law enforcement.
