Wrap Technologies (NASDAQ: WRAP) announced that the Illinois Law Enforcement Training and Standards Board (ILETSB) has certified its 10-hour BolaWrap 150 CIT Rescue Tool Level 1 Law Enforcement User Course for in-service training. The certification recognizes 5.5 hours across five categories of mandated law enforcement training, according to a company press release distributed via NEWMEDIAWIRE.
Illinois is the first state to recognize a curriculum developed under the company's Non-Lethal System Doctrine, a framework that emphasizes de-escalation and remote restraint. The course combines two hours of foundational instruction, which can be completed through the WrapTactics Learning Management System, with eight hours of in-person training covering equipment handling, decision-making, practical techniques and certification testing. Participating agencies may apply portions of the curriculum toward existing officer training requirements, subject to applicable state and agency rules.
The certification supports Wrap Technologies' strategy to transition from individual equipment sales toward integrated de-escalation programs that incorporate digital education, standardized training and ongoing officer proficiency. The company has submitted curriculum materials for consideration in several additional states and believes its training model could expand recurring revenue opportunities through continued education, instructor credentialing and long-term agency relationships. For investors, the move signals a potential shift in the company's revenue model from one-time hardware purchases to more predictable, service-based income streams.
Wrap Technologies is a public safety technology company focused on non-lethal response solutions, training and integrated technologies designed to support law enforcement and security professionals. Its BolaWrap family of remote restraint devices aims to provide officers with additional options to manage encounters, support de-escalation and improve public safety outcomes. More details on the company's relationship with Wrap Technologies are available through Wrap Technologies (NASDAQ: WRAP).

The Illinois certification matters beyond a single state because it validates a training model that could be replicated nationwide. If other states follow, Wrap Technologies could deepen its relationships with law enforcement agencies and create a recurring revenue base that is less dependent on individual equipment sales. For agencies, the certification offers a way to meet mandated training requirements while adopting de-escalation tools, potentially improving community outcomes. The announcement also highlights a growing trend among public safety technology companies to bundle hardware with training and digital services, a shift that could reshape how law enforcement agencies procure and budget for non-lethal options.
