Wrap Technologies (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.
The announcement underscores WRAP’s broader WrapShield(TM) platform strategy and reflects growing demand for immersive training solutions in the private security sector. The company noted that ATF Ruling 2026-2, which classifies its BolaWrap(R) 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, a global leader in innovative public safety technologies, offers a complete portfolio including the non-lethal BolaWrap(R) 150 device, Wrap Reality(R) immersive training platform, WrapVision(TM) body-worn camera system, WrapTactics(TM) training programs, and next-generation C-UAS solutions like PAN-DA and the 1KC Kinetic Anti-Drone Cassette. The company’s mission is to provide safer, scalable, and cost-effective technologies for public safety, defense, and critical infrastructure markets.
With a growing demand for non-lethal tools and techniques to create time, distance, and tactical advantage in non-criminal calls, the BolaWrap(R) 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. The device is not pain-based compliance; it does not shoot, strike, shock, or incapacitate. Instead, it 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(R) is backed by training certified by the International Association of Directors of Law Enforcement Standards and Training (IADLEST).
The Wrap Reality(TM) VR platform is a fully immersive training simulator designed to enhance decision-making under stress. It 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.
This strategic move by Wrap Technologies signals a significant shift in the private security sector, as more firms adopt advanced training and non-lethal tools to improve officer safety and community relations. The ATF ruling could further accelerate adoption, potentially reshaping how security personnel are equipped and trained across the country.
