WRAP Announces Initial Miami Police Department Order for BolaWrap Remote Restraint Devices

Wrap Technologies, Inc. (the "Company" or "WRAP") (NASDAQ:WRAP), a global leader in innovative public safety technologies and services, is pleased to announce an initial order by the Miami Police Department for BolaWrap(r) products and accessories.



"Miami Chief Art Acevedo had demonstrated BolaWrap devices to the mayor and city council in June of 2021 and has now placed an initial order for the training staff to begin policy and training development," said Tom Smith, CEO and President of WRAP. "Chief Acevedo has led the Austin and Houston police departments, and now Miami, and is president of the Major Cities Chiefs Association representing the largest cities in the US and Canada. He continues to look at innovative technology for use by his officers."

"Our mayor and our commissioners tasked us with operating in a manner where we keep our officers safe and our community safe. We decided we needed to go look for another tool, and we went, and we found the BolaWrap," said Miami Chief Art Acevedo. "This is another option that can help us bring the person into custody, and quite frankly, it's not even a use of force. It's not a less-lethal weapon because it's not a weapon. It's really an apprehension tool that helps us subdue someone without using force and without injury. We got it in Houston just a couple of months ago, and we've already had three successful applications in the field."
