Wrap Technologies, Inc. announced a 20 unit expansion order for BolaWrap® 150 remote restraint devices by the Detroit Police Department following a successful initial partial deployment in 2023. The aim of this purchase was to support the Detroit PD?s Crisis Intervention Team (CIT), which is tasked with responding to calls relating to individuals in mental health crises. In 2023, when they made their initial purchase, Detroit, the most populous city in Michigan, joined more than 1,000 agencies across the US and 60 countries around the world who have adopted Wrap Technologies?

solution and its ?no-harm? guiding principle. Wrap Technologies?

BolaWrap® is a proprietary technology that allows officers to safely restrain individuals without causing significant harm or escalating the situation. By deploying a lightweight Kevlar® tether, BolaWrap® can rapidly and temporarily immobilize an individual?s legs or arms, effectively allowing officers to move in while minimizing the potential for injury to both officers and the individual involved. By placing a second order for BolaWrap® 150 remote restraint devices, the Detroit Police Department has reaffirmed their commitment to a new style of policing that aims to use the minimal amount of force necessary to subdue individuals without placing officers?

lives in danger. Now every officer in the Detroit Police Department?s CIT unit will be expected to carry BolaWrap® on their belts. This deployment comes at a time in which police interactions with non-violent but non-compliant individuals are reaching unprecedented levels in Detroit.

The Detroit Police Department serviced nearly 1,000 more calls for mental health issues in 2023 than it had the year prior ? with officers helping to prevent over 1,000 suicides.
