Wrap Technologies Expands Campus Safety Presence with UMBC Deployment

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 is intended 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.

The UMBC deployment advances Wrap's 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's broader Non-Lethal Response ecosystem also includes Wrap Reality, WrapTactics, WrapVision and other public safety technologies. For more details, see the full press release here.

Wrap Technologies is a global leader in innovative public safety technologies and non-lethal tools, delivering cutting-edge technology to address complex, modern-day challenges facing public safety organizations. The 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. These technologies support the company's mission to provide safer, scalable, and cost-effective solutions for public safety, defense, and critical infrastructure markets.

With growing demand for non-lethal tools and techniques to create time, distance and tactical advantage in non-criminal calls, 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. The device deploys a multi-sensory, cognitive disruption to expand the pre-escalation period and gives officers critical time to manage non-compliant subjects before resorting to higher-force options. The BolaWrap 150 is not pain-based compliance; it does not shoot, strike, shock, or incapacitate. Instead, it helps officers operate pre-escalation on the force continuum, reducing injury risk. 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. It provides first responders with realistic, interactive scenarios that reflect the evolving challenges of modern law enforcement, equipping officers with skills and confidence for safer outcomes. WrapVision is an all-new body-worn camera and evidence management system built for efficiency, security, and transparency. Designed to meet the rigorous demands of modern law enforcement, WrapVision captures, stores, and helps manage digital evidence, ensuring operational security, regulatory compliance, and enhanced video quality. Powered by IONODES, the camera boasts streamlined cloud integration and final North American assembly, with a critical made-in-America roadmap projected for early 2026.

This deployment underscores Wrap's commitment to expanding non-lethal options in campus safety, potentially reducing escalation and enhancing community trust. For the latest news and updates on WRAP, visit their newsroom here.
